Would would be the reasons for jumping and for not jumping fleets if you were a current 777 FO? The A380 fleet will continue to grow and the A380 routes are improving (or maybe getting worse depending upon your perspective) with time in terms of layovers as more airframes arrive.

I am aware that you need a certain number of hours on type for upgrade - so, if you are mid-level 777 FO (in terms of time on type), would you be nuts to go to the A380 because you would be forgoing an upgrade chance on the 777? Would the time to upgrade be reduced for existing 777 FOs with decent time at the company? Otherwise, why make the jump to the SUPER if you have to start over in terms of hours to upgrade? What would be the pros/cons of that decision?
