It is just harmful influence for airlines in Japan. Influence of union is very significant which will compromise other’s salary like foreign pilots. When you start to work in Japan, you will also see difficulty dealt with Japanese pilots. Those people are very conservative and they don’t like to see a number of foreign pilots take over their job and making high salary. Working condition of foreign pilot will get worse and worse in Japan. Those who like work abroad should avoid option for working in Japan.
And, instead, you would be working where?
