Life on the CX Whale Freighter

Seriously not wishing to stir the pot. Just asking a basic question, which is the purpose of this forum - right?

Have a friend who is interviewing for a spot on the Whale. Yes, I have read all about CX and the fleet differences, etc. Hong Kong is SUPER expensive and anyone moving to the area will live in poverty - I completely understand. Again, this is not for me, but a friend at a large Euro LCC who will be interviewing (he has family connections to HKG).

Can knowledgeable people provide an updated and "objective" view into the job-related life for a newhire on the Whale? How many trips per month? What are the pros/cons of that fleet? Do Whale drivers ever get the chance to bid other fleets like the 777 or Airbus fleets?

Any other relevant information would be appreciated. Cheers for any professional answers - PMs also welcome.
