The minimums are high because its possible to be upgraded in just over three years if everything falls into place.

To the Dominican - all airframes currency utilised. No lack of FOs, shortage of Captains. Package includes housing and commuting for expats, so your post on costs of getting to Narita is not relevant.
Company apartment provided in Kozinomori during training.
I seriously doubt an Expat FO has been able to upgrade in just over 3 years, let alone EVER at JJP. Don’t give false hopes of ever upgrading to Expats heading there because even just passing FO training there is against the odds.
How about sharing all the recent Initial Pass/Fail Rates for Expat Captain’s and FO’s? My guess is around 30%, and that is being generous.
All airframes being utilized? Honto? So are there not any planes consistently parked over by the hangars near the 34L? How about all the Flight cancellations due to shortage of pilots?
This is comical! Please put down the Green-Tea flavored Kool-Aid and come back to reality!
