Concerning the upgrade it is hard to tell at the moment, it depends on the expansion (if there is any on the Airbus...), there is a seniority list but still it's hard to tell for time to command right now.
As of 02/2007 there will be solely DUS base for FO's, and everybody will be rostered to fly the XFW routes from time to time.
With your experience you should get around 58,5k to 60k per year, but be aware that since yesterday (01/01/2007) every crewmember working on board a D-registered aircraft has to pay taxes in Germany.
Hope that helped,
Cheers!
