A350 small fleet, getting some really good routes.

I've only flown the 777 but that is my impression talking to others.
I’d also add because there is nothing shorter than three days on the A380 and the maintenance is done in Manila any Time Assignable duty they use to make your roster up to CAP is completely unusable. No Tel Avivs and no days out for ferry flights to Cardiff. So a carefully placed Golden Day can give you three days off for the use of a single one of your annual allocation of 6.
