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 )
