A340-300/400 Pitch Angle

I have noticed the A340-300/400 is slow to rise on takeoff and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the pitch angel is in climb and the maximum on take off ( assuming a relatively full aircraft).

Any comparison to a B777 ?

I'm not at an airline so I cant ask air crew directly.

Thanks.

well the acft is underpowered. hence the very long roll in hot conditions and low climb.
the average pitch for take off is 12.5 deg. rate of climb. varies from 1000 ft/ min initially to 300-400ft ft/min once you get closer to the cruise altitude.
this is for our 340-300's.
