I'm a platinum w*nker with 10+ years accrued membership consistently at that level.
I'm seriously considering asking one of the other oneworld alliance members for status-match and converting my booking prefs over. Cathay for instance

I'm seriously considering asking one of the other oneworld alliance members for status-match and converting my booking prefs over. Cathay for instance
reasons:
- I suspect Q/EK will break out of oneworld because EK doesnt see the value
- I suspect I won't be offered routing on OneWorld by Q but Q/EK preference, which will accrue only Q/EK usable points if 1) happens
- Cathay to Europe is better quality offering (lieflats, herringbone, good timings, long-leg is the Europe arrival which is better sleep pattern inbound)
problems
- how I make Q stop using my QFF when I book and honour my other oneworld carrier
- much though it pains me to say so, the offload offerings into europe from DXB look good
- worse choices trans-pac to the USA if not via Q, ie Cathay via HKK is flying backwards
