I'm not wanting to stir things but for new joiners airbus is the fleet to be on. Transfer to the 380 sooner than you think , 330 retirements leaving only 343/5 between @2014-17 combined with transfer/upgrade to 350. What A/C will be doing the night turns when the 330 is gone?

My decision
I would like to thank all of you whom replied to my questions. These answers combined with various other posts I have read on the middle east website have lead me to conclude that it isn't worth me coming out to work there.
The Emirates package isn't acceptable to me, it doesn't enhance my work life balance, or financial situation.
This is not an egotistic , ( i currenlty fly 850-900 hours per 12 months )but rather a considered decision based on information that wasn't perhaps available to those of you who have joined and wished they hadn't. I have been in aviation for sometime now and what is not acceptable to me maybe fine for others though.
Observations I think apply to all airlines and think that would be wise to be adopted to emirates, treat you staff fairly and justly, if your staff are unhappy with your managers; there may well be something wrong with the managers, don't treat your staff badly, don't always let the accountants dictate what is best for the company ( they are there to manage the finances of the company, not the company ). Consider the work life balance of your people under you. ( if you haven't done their job for an extended period, and see the problems, don't ask them to, long term, do something you wouldn't be prepared to do given there circumstances).
Stop changing terms and conditions of employment for your employees to their detriment. It makes people feel they have less control over their lives.
People may think I'm crazy about the accountancy statement, it's not my quote but one told to me by the owner and head of a multinational company, a company started by him which at the time of his retirement was the largest company in their industry, in the world.
This might sound like pie in the sky thinking but I think it's the only way forward.
I want flying as a part of my life, not to be my life !
Good luck.
