5 star,

It was very much the same line of BS the 777 guys were sending out 7 years ago when the 330/340 guys had 8 days off per month and 92 hours every month, 60 in the months when you had 14 days leave. As the 777 took all the better trips there remained very little decent flying and most of it at night. 92 hours on the 330 was MUCH harder than 105 on the 777. Many of the 380 guys are seeing 10 days off with 95-100 hours rosters...its bad on both fleets with the 777 slightly in the lead.

I'm not sure where A6... gets off with the statement he is making. 95 hour rosters are spent in the tube, at altitude, getting radiated, eating crap food at the wrong time of day, trying to "rest" in a confined box of the size that your wine fridge came in.

There is a lot of talk that 250 (captains so the story goes) will be rewarded with a move to the 777 (because it is just that much better) and I'm sure the "expression of interest" list has countless 1000's of names of pilots wanting to flee the 380.

All that being said, watch this space for comments regarding the changing of the guard, 737, a320, a350 and who knows...maybe even a new call sign and HQ in a different city
