Thinking of defecting to Etihad from Qatar
 

I'm a pretty regular flyer and have used Qatar for years (mix of biz and economy depending on what I'm doing). Anyway these days Etihad could serve me at least as well and I would make the switch immediately if Etihad would give me the equivalent frequent flyer status. I'm a top tier member with Qatar (was gold, just changed to Platinum under new system).

Does anyone know if this kind of thing is a possibility?

Try this they do keep bringing this promotion on. Cannot find it but I'm sure that there was one for Sept, meaning get the email out of the door today ! Generally they also want a copy of your other status card.

See you up there :)

Thanks for the info, I'll try it.
