Your want/need to confront them about a family issue is the start of the slippery slope of being "unsuitable"...if the slippery slope hasn't already been started for any number of reasons during training to date.
Worked in Japan for another operator but believe the mentality is consistent, happy to be corrected if all of a sudden happy/cuddly/fluffy has become a thing in corporate Japan.
And straight onto the 787? Interesting delusion I would have thought.

Pretty much settles it for me...I wont bother as Im not prepared to put my family second or deal with that punitive culture in an airline. Why Asians dont change this is beyond me, they must be gluttons for punishment I guess!!
