How about Air Japan/Japan in general

I notice Air Japan advertising in the Austaralian for non-type rated B767 F/O's. Suprised no topic in the DG and GO forum yet.

Must be attractive as paying quite well compared to the paltry sums now standard in the lands of milk and honey.

By the way, there is an immenent shortage of talent in Japan for experienced pilots . About to start looking for drivers are: ANA; 45 B737ng's on order: Skymark; more 767's coming and B737ng's on order: AirDo; 2 B737-400's coming: SkynetAsia; expect 16 more B737-400's over next 3 years. Jalex will have big B737 order in 2-3 years.

Japanese pilots are experiencing huge retirement over the next few years.

Pay range for above positions would be US$9000-12000 for Capts (usual 60-70% for F/O's).

Requirement to hold ICAO licence therefore Oz/Kiwi drivers very much in demand.

Can commute or live in a very! interesting and safe country with stable (read responsible Govt control) aviation industry.
