Depending on how close you are to command , it might be worth upgrading for 2yrs and then leaving. PIC time is a valuable commodity all around the world.
Rosters on the 777 have improved greatly, but as with everything there, that will change. 380 has also improved, but still worse than it was 3-yrs ago.
A LOT of people have settled and had families. Some came with children and had more. Some came single and are now married with children.
The erosion of the medical benefits is getting near the end of the rope for me, as well as the new “ pay and claim” system.
Pay is still pretty bad, and the yearly contractual 3% step increase is violated almost every year, even though the profits are enormous.
Layover hotel locations ( and quality) have been going downhill for a few years now.
A lot is subjective and relative. Planes (380) are nearly never flown with any defects, except to get back to DXB to have the defects cleared. Good maintenance is one of the high points.
Just dig through the threads a little. A TON of info in there.
