Magic I don't think anyone is deluded to the point of thinking Airbus life is 'peachy'. It sucks in comparison, but nowhere near as bad as made out to be, once you get some seniority of course....

Since Nov I havnt worked over 50 hours in a month. And in that same period I've had 5 night flights including a reserve month and second bottom bid month. That to me is good compared to what I was doing when I joined, and Yes I still get envious when I see mates on 777 globetrotting. But 330 is hardly a death sentence especially if you want to be home for the wife n kids (quality time.....?)

So anyway what I'm saying is if and when the 380 ccqs get running again, your seniority will move up in a rapid pace on the fleet & as new hires join behind you. So look at it as short term pain for potentially long term gain (lifestyle wise on 380).
