A380 rating; is it worth having?

Gents,

Is the A380 rating worth having re future job prospects? It's got a very limited user base and I really can't see anyone hiring a DEC onto it (EK excluded of course).

I'd appreciate your thoughts

cheers

Completely useless to you. Each of the airlines operating A380s has an established seniority system with a queue of the most senior Captains wanting to go on it. There would be a ruckus!

So, how many airlines are operating the A380 right now? .... count the fingers you have on both your hands....? ... sad to say you have more fingers than the current operators of the A380

And, quite likely to stay that way, indefinitely.

Probably safer just to go with the A350 to be honest, then you can upgrade to the A380 later.

It's a bit difficult to get a rating on a paper airplane...

On a more serious note - do you think a Concorde rating would be worth paying for?
