8 years on the Boeing and just over a year on the big bus.
Rosters and actual working day on the 380 is far better than the Boeing, mainly due to the seats and low noise levels.
However on a ****ty day when its all going wrong I would plump for the Boeing every day. EICAS and its checklists are far more logical and thought out. And when the winds are howling as they tend to do in the UK winters I felt far more in control of the Boeing, as you were able to manually adjust power as required and crosswind landing really were a doddle as I felt connected to the machine rather than the slight disconnection I feel at the moment. This will probably change as the years and hours on the machine tick by.
