Japanese trying to become a pilot

[ThunderLizard]

Keep at it. And whatever you do, don't listen to PPRUNE trolls who say you can't do this or that.

For example, if someone tells you you'll never be able to get a job in Japan with only an FAA license and no JCAB, just remember that loads of guys who have never even been to Japan get hired by Air Japan etc and they all eventually got a JCAB license. It's true you don't want to try to convert FAA to JCAB on your own, but it will be taken care of when you join a Japanese airline. And if the naysayers on here come up with something like just work in an office and fly a Cessna on the weekend, ignore them completely. I got "advice" like that from trolls trying to pull everyone around them down like crabs in a barrel decades ago when I started out. So glad I didn't listen. Stick to your plan. がんばって
