nca bases/med

Ringding,
reqs will eventually change to 744 rating for now no type .That said 742 P1 and current would help.
I should say at least 5000hrs with some heavy time thrown in,good hand flying skills +the usual IF .
Bases open JFK.SFO.commute from where you like.
Japanese atpl they will put you through (5 mths in tokyo).
Bmi is an issue ,medical takes 4-5 hours you will be busy the whole time.If there is anything wrong with you they will find it.But you don't need to be very fit ,I'm not and probably drink and smoke too much also .
Age prob 45 or less.
Salary all in usd 11500-/+.Everybody starts as fo.
Need to have an easy going ,don't take yourself too seriously nature.Prob the most imp req here.
Traditionally things have been very good there.Now with new ownership lots of expansion is taking place .No one knows the future ,the same, better or maybe worse .For now it's probably one of the top 5 contacts worldwide.

Hope this helps.
