EX 380, you must be a good little EK soldier not to think the 330 rosters are completely unsustainable. I'm not on the Airbus? Hey, genius, read my post again.... I've been on the bus since day one. Fact.
PS I love my sidestick.

You haven't been here that long perhaps...
The Bus used to do BNE, MEL, and hence the whole point; there is a lack of productivity on the fleet! Enough already, back to another recovery nap...

Sorry A380-guy. You still come across as a bigger wank-job. Let me guess, while you were on the Gay-380, you were crowing to all your "mates" about "how great the lifestyle is" blah blah blah, wandering around the Dubai clubs with a button pinned to your lapel that says "Ask me why I'm SUPER!"...but then when you had to move back to the little bus to get a command, why, now, it's not that bad! Why not change your moniker to "Current A-330 driver", if life's so grand?
Funny how we all rationalize to ourselves. Pity it doesn't fool anyone else.

A343 gone by Feb 2013 according to Airline Route and also wikipedia.
I heard 10 or 11 airframes combination A332/A343 to be phased out this financial year - 24 B777 and 11 A380 in, so net increase 24-25 frames.
Not sure about how the A388 problems will determine how fast/slow those frames are replaced.

Sittingidly, you're yammering on this site in fragmented thoughts, slagging off just about everyone, making yourself look ridiculous. I would be curious to know your background - very lucky to be at EK I would imagine, but now complaining on how hard done by you are. Maybe you should go back to the asian cadet program you probably came from and be happy. Ciao.

Not sure about that-lah but I would say most if not all the guys from an "Asian Cadet Program" are generally happy to be here.

...a very interesting thread, indeed.
Just saying, I spent a few years on the 330 and it was just getting worse every year. horrible back to back night turnarounds and almost no layovers at all. During my last 330 year I found myself complaining about everything, more or less hating my job, EK and the life Dubai (well by then I din't have a "life" in Dubai and the few off days I had were just for recovery).
Last year I came over to the 380, and everyting changed. I enjoy flying again, love the 380 and actually enjoy life in Duabi...
I have quite a few pals that still fighting on the 330, and I see their rosters every now and then, so my point is:
Anyone (no names...) that says that they are quite happy on the 330 must be HIGH on drugs!
Whatever it is your're on, seriously, share it with your fellow 330-pilots...

Ben C, your feeling were well justified and systemic throughout the fleet.
Ex 380, searching and posting others previous posts? Single perhaps? The company loves your newbe ignorance and appreciates that it's always legal with the labour camp schedule on the Airbus. It's the most widespread and obvious ****storm disaster in the company; are you living in a cave, or just a lonely lurking ppruner? just give it more time, you'll come around….

Also, my good friend, how can you condone your response to a perceived racist remark with another - perhaps more so - racist remark whereby you went so far as to name not just a race but a specific country. This is showing your true colours. Don't call the racist card if you hold such prejudices yourself.......and, for the record, this is said to you without prejudice on my part! (despite being a Brit)

Sittingidly,
Sober up and read my posts again for goodness sakes. In this thread, I agree with your assertions. Any sane rational human being knows the airbus schedules are brutal and the schedules are appalling. No Sh&t ! Ask one of the doc's next time your in the clinic. The company knows it too, but heads are in the sand...it's legal
Ex 380 is a newbe pest and getting in your head; time for a sabbatical. Enjoy some time away from the slag off.
