Let's get real folks - of course there's going to be much more interest in it if it's Qantas...we're in Australia and QF IS the flag carrier after all! Plus, Qantas is a publicly owned company so therefore it may have ramifications on its share price, whereas EK is a foreign carrier. There's probably a 10-fold level of interest amongst Joe Public when something happens to Qantas, compared to that of a foreign carrier which would really only interest the trade media and enthusiasts such as ourselves.

I'm not saying it's right, but it's just the way it is!
