The Airbus going forward will have faster upgrades = good.
The Airbus does a lot of the crappy night turns around the ME and to the Sub-Continent = bad.
It's an Airbus = bad

Chance to fly the A380 = good/bad ( up to you )
The Airbus cruises at a higher altitude. Most Airbus pilots are bald, or will soon be but they get above the turbulence more than the Boeing = Good and bad.
The Boeing will have slower upgrades going forward = bad
The Boeing has far better route structure and variety of trips with less of the crappy night turn arounds = good
It's a Boeing = good
The Boeing stays low, well below the harmful cosmic radiation thus most Boeing pilots keep their hair

= good. Flying across the Bay of Bengal in the turbulence = bad ( hard to get any good sleep that way
