Commuting from Europe to Emirates
Hi All,
I have read some posts regarding this issue, however the ones I have found seem to be at least a year old.
I am wondering if anyone has some up to date information on this issue, in particular for FO's.
We would be considering possibly somewhere on the continent, for instance, Paris.
I am currently on the A380, and would be hoping to get a right hand seat on one up there.
Are the rosters compatible with commuting on the 380?
Would the pay allow us to do this when it would be our only source of income?
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Keep in mind you mentioned that the current info is a year old therefor you are assuming (correctly) that the commuting situation may have changed. So if we tell you it is easy to commute these days what might it be like in 12 months time???? Tough to make long term plans on a constantly changing short term situation.... So don't let commuting be a factor in your decision to come or not or you may be disappointed....

Even if you had 15 days off in groups of 5 you would lucky to have 3 days of home life in the block of 5. Now the likely hood of that is very slim even in a top bid month. 380 rosters are 90 hrs and 777 is 90 hrs with less ULR and in time more turns.

Commuting with an airline thats does not exist
A good friend commuted from Manila to from abu somewhere, every two weeks, for a long weekend.
In his official documents he was a Londoner, so not commuting home. ( or Europe ).
He was always tired, but I suspect not from enough rack time.
