Just to open it up to more people the A380 is a great fleet but the problem with it is its extremely US centric post COVID. Yes we’ve got SIN back and there’s JNB but as junior pilots you won’t be seeing many of those. That leaves DXB (winter seasonal) but otherwise welcome to taking out a small mortgage to eat when down route. You won’t see much change out of $35 for breakfast anywhere and that’s just one meal of the day. We get free breakfast in MIA but even there you’re expected to tip, oh and there’s a lounge at the hotel in IAD but otherwise Reston is a soul crushingly dull place as alluded to above. I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a deal breaker but it does certainly add up over the course of the month, particularly as the allowances aren’t exceptionally generous and haven’t kept pace with just how expensive the US is nowadays.
