More Condor Questions

Obviously Condor serves leisure destinations whereas LH (intra-Europe) primarily serves business destinations etc,. Are schedules at Condor more tiring and difficult than typical intra-Europe LH flight schedules? Does Condor provide a good QOL for pilots or do you get a lot more night flights and very early-morning shows that are tiring? Do Condor pilots get many night stops (within Europe) or are the flights typically out-and-back (i.e., to Lanzarote and back)? What about aircraft type at Condor - is there any experience difference required to fly either the A320 or the 757-300 or is it first seat available as long as you meet minimums?

Are pilots from Condor who ultimately move over to LH happy with the type of flying (not talking long-haul) LH does? I would imagine FRA-LHR-FRA-CDG-FRA-MAD-FRA-MXP in the Airbus would be quite different from flights to the Greek or Canary Islands for some people. At the same time, anyone lucky enough to get a slot with LH would probably be happy regardless.
