Good Move?

Hi there guys, I've been reading as much as I can about Etihad and noticed that the current problems are scheduling and housing with EY.

I've got a chance of making it in and would appreciate your inputs and your honest opinions by comparing what I'm leaving behind.

Currently 320 PIC in small Asian carrier, average 10000US/month No house allowance and no other extras, company outlook very grayish!!! No growth and horrible relationship between pilots.

On the table, 320 PIC with EY, with possible 330 later on.

Is it worth it money wise?
Good career move?
Life style compared with South East Asia, better?
Are the schools for the kids good?
Does the company really consider your time outside base after completing your regulated rest as a day off?
What's the criteria of being assigned a Vila or a flat in Abu Dhabi?
Housing is improving currently?

Keep hearing from others that joining EY it's a step up if you are coming from an Asian carrier, but it's not perfect either.

Thanks in advance for all your posts...
