Mr White it sounds like you are weighing up between a left seat at QA or a right seat at EK. In this industry I would be very reluctant to give up the LHS unless....you are prepared to stay in the RHS for a very long time. That is your worst case scenario isn't it? Don't make a decision on say 4 years in the RHS is ok but not 5 etc because you will never know at EK how long it will be, Capt Smithy a case in point, (but at least he has his gold fish...
