I do not regret making the move over here
At the moment when life is cruisy you do bugger all flying, and have long layovers. V probably is great fun, and now is the time to experience it.

However if things ramp up a bit I think your contract could bight you in the arse very hard. Flying from one side of the world to the other one day off then off to the other side of the world I don't think would be much fun. Even less so when you are getting pay peanuts. Not sure if V do it however I know Jestar count days off overseas as RDOs!!

Anyway the flying is fantastic
As a cruise FO??

In my opinion there is significantly more opportunity with Voz as a cruise F/O
Assuming that V will let you to go VB and VB will take you!!
If not I would suggest you are probably in the same position as QF 2nd Officers. I also believe that there is no seniority at V so in theory they could just flush out Emirates and fill the RHS will those guys.
