I have relatives in both BA LH and VS.]
Definitely less hours flown in VS and friendly operation, pay OK. Time to Command far less in VS, vs BA LH
Only downside I have heard from them, is acute roster instability in VS vs rock steady rosters in BA which only change with requests or agreement.
A330/A340 fleet every rostered trip in Nov changed, usually at last minute to a JFK n/s or Lagos. 5 Atlantic crossings in 24 days. Probably caused by 787 engine troubles and extended unplanned A340 use until Summer 2020. (Apparently few Airbus pilots are A340 rated, so get stuck with JFK and Lagos)
Presumably rosters will improve with A350 introduction.
