even more questions....
Hi,
I've just started looking into these two operations myself, and hope some of you there currently might be able and kind enough to answer a few questions.
Does either AJV/AJX seem to give a higher chance at an interview sooner than the other?
Fratemate, if you're back on here, you replied that 'this is all changing' in reference to the AJV USA flights, are USA flights no more? (Wikipedia seems to imply this).
Also, from your (very useful) reply I take it that some of the guys rent and others stay in hotels. Is it generally commuting guys in hotels and those residing in Japan renting? Do any of the 'commuters' rent a pad?
Does either fleet appear to offer a quicker chance at upgrade than the other?
Do all agencies require the detail to the decimal point that PARC requires? Is it truly necessary to add up every x/country (non-instructing) flight? Is there an easier way eg only include all 'airline' x/country time?
One small concern is that they are constantly recruiting, but in all there are only 5(?) a/c between the two fleets. Is there a high attrition rate on line, is there a big drop-out rate in the school, or is the decimal point precision on the application just too much for most people to bother with?
The application now asks if you will commute, then, if you are commuting from outside of Asia/Pac region, are you willing to relocate, and where to? Is this a loaded question... is there a preference (or unspoken 'requirement') for commuting from within the Asia/Pac region?
All replies are really appreciated.
