Congrats Ve764.. Reason why the lack of interest on the FO side to go on the 787 is because the upgrade is fast and furious, right now it is about two years from right seat 777 to upgrade 777 left seat.
They are also automatically attaching 787 types to 777 pilots licenses, saw it today with the FO I was flying with showed me a Dreamliner Type attached to his certificate.

Because its a common type rating. Same as 757/767, a rating on either type means you are officially rated for both, however you still need to complete a differences course, but that is much shorter than a full typerating.

Do you have to live in Abu Dhabi or can you drive in from Dubai?

330 - Almost exclusively mid range flying to Asia, Europe, and Africa. 6 to 10 hour range. Also three freighters mixed in that go many non EY destinations.

340 - Mostly ULR, some Europe/Asia mid range

Almost all Airbus pilots as a rule are mixed fleet (320/330 or 330/340)

777 - Mix of ULR to North America and Oz, some short to medium range High Density flying mainly to Asia.

This being said, typical rosters vary widely depending on fleet and type mixing. ULR may have more off days, while short haul could fly mostly days and be home more nights etc.

.

What type of flying are they planning to do with the 787?

On the EY career page it says that the application deadline was December 2013, however if I click to apply, it let's me continue with the application. Does anybody have any insight on this? Are they actually accepting applications?

One benefit of taking new aircraft types last (among the big 3 ME airlines) is that you can design the most innovative interior after you have sampled the others... Sounds like EY will be going all out for their upcoming A380s and 787s:

[>talkinterior] Etihad Amazes the World With New Cabin | >talkairlines | >Kai-Chin Shih TALK

Looks awesome (and expensive)! Even the economy seats on the 787 look comfortable. Gotta do something to differentiate your product with EK and QR in the neighborhood.

just priced LHR-AUH return in "the residences". GBP25,000. Same price for 1 or 2 people as it's a 2 person suite. 2 people in first class was about GBP8,500.
