Are they saying that you might start on the 777 and then have a direct route to A380s as they come on board or do they not make any suggestions?
Any mention of potential non-Dubai bases in the future (like Cathay Cargo)?
First, it will snow here in the desert before off bases. In a word NO. If you have a lot of Boeing glass time, you probably will get the Boeing, otherwise they will let you know when they hire you. Right now they are saying that there won't be any mixed fleet flying on the A380, ie, if you are flying the other buses presently, you won't fly both. Of course all that is this week. And don't see the chance of many Boeing pilots going to the 380. Hope this helps a little.
