It's seems like long way to command in EK , QR is much quicker ,3 years max , once process starts its will take 3 month to be cleared on the line , got many colleagues left to QR from UK in 2012 , guess what now are captains on 330/777/787 and some became LTC. wages are quite good , but the only thing to consider is the Doha life style , nothing much to do but good for family life .
