Get through their training, especially the 777, and you still may get busted by their "FAA". As one friend of mine was asked by the examiner, "Are you stupid?" Oh he didn't make it through despite his 20,000 hours and being a line check airman and being current. I don't believe the other fleets are too bad, but the 777 is bad news. Lots of info on Prune.org. Their training basically as if you are a new 2nd LT./Ens. in the military. Lots of brow beating and in some cases yelling. So just think before you leap. If you have a stable job, think twice about jumping ship and heading over there with no guarantee of finishing training. There is a reason that these jobs have been advertised for the past three years.
Now on the other hand, those that have made it through seem to really like it. Good pay, good schedule, based anywhere they fly twice a week, confirmed biz seats to Seoul with upgrade. The physical is a bear. Friend of mine played football in high school some 30+ years ago and had broken his wrist. They picked up on it and required an ortho exam in the US to say it was ok. He made it through, 747, and is very happy. So it seems all of the above is fleet specific.
