EK -Which fleet to request

I know this has been discussed before, at some length as well, but things change. So, what fleet should one go for if offered a job with EK? (yes yes, I know, they put me on what they need, but hey, you can always ask)

If put on the Airbus, are you stuck with turns to India for a few years while on the 330 or do you get some decent overnights as well? With the 350 coming (sometime) it feel like there is more focus on the Airbus fleet, while they of course ordered some 50 777 as well?

From a pure comfort and ergonomics perspective, are the Airbuses more comfy with the yoke out of the way and replaced by a tray table?

Pros/cons appreciated!

Thanks!
