Who's comparing?
If you want a quick command these are the places where they will be eventuating. Even before they ordered 30 777's EK was after 700+ pilots in the next 18 months. And HKA with 25 A330/350 and A320's on order will need DEC's and quickly, although they will have to improve their overall package in this market with a dwindling supply of pilots if they are not going to ground aircraft.
It's almost always the pilots who get in early in a booming airline who do well.
If you are not one to take risks and prefer the feeling of 'security' stay right where you are. Just don't go around in 5 years moaning that "X has been a Captain with Y Airlines for 3 years and I am still an FO at 40 years of age with little prospect for upgrade in the next 10 years".
Some have the nouse/cohones to take the risk others are more comfortable with 'the devil they know' even if they hate that devil. Horses for courses.
