I have worked for both and both have good and bad bits. I guess it comes down to more personal/location/career view options. I know I'd pick the A320 over the 737 due to the comfort it brings and I think I'd pick flydubai over Gulf Air. What I miss from Gulf Air is their stafftravel options and living at Amwaj.
I don't think flydubai has improved that much regarding term/conditions. A lot of work needs to be done there to bring it in line with the rest of the UAE players. But things are improving, be it slowly.
