Schedule
Basically you get ten days off per month to be taken as 10 or 2 lots of 5. They nearly always add days off (blank days) to these so 10 becomes 14 and 5 about 8. Back to back is ok so 3 on 3 off (weeks) is feasible.
Parc or Hacs. Hacs seems to be for americans and parc for the rest.
No direct entry captains in the last 4 years and currently around 3 years to upgrade. This will speed up with expansion and because most of the ANA pilots on secondment will go back to ANA within 3 years.
