That would also answer the question. That is not meant to be insulting at all and that does not necessarily mean that their pilots are inherently better. For instance, some actions in the cockpit that westerners take for granted hold more significance in Japan. CRM is something everyone thinks they understand but in Japan the manner in which you communicate with your flying partner, if less than perfect, is not just something that results in a comment at the debrief. It could mean a down because the checker thinks your management style is unsafe.

They set higher standards for screening in order to insure they get the best product available. Seems reasonable to me. Why accept fair to good when you really want excellent.

Compatible with the Japanese culture simply means polite to a high degree, humble (but not meek) and attentive. No real mystery there. No secret sauce needed.

Good luck to all.
JR is absolutely right !
the failure rate is high not because they want you to fail.
Its because you cant adapt to the Japanese way of doing things and the culture at work.
if you keep comparing to what you have done before and try to teach them how to do it that’s where the problem starts.
Japanese have a way of doing things which differ from the rest of the world.
Its not just the end result but how you do it as well .
All I can say this place not for everyone .
You need to be prepared very well before you come .
Start with an open mind , learn to do it the Japanese and then things will be better .
Training is lengthy and brutal .
But positive about Japan it’s a honest and civilized place .

Good Luck
