All the current AJX pilots have been offered the AJV contract.All have knocked it back because it is a lousy deal.
I have seen the IAC offer and it is in the most part not factual. I can't see there being any flexible rostering, everyone will work their 21 days on, 10 days off roster as there is going to be a great shortage of pilots for this operation (it takes 8 months to train people). You will be required to have Japan residency which will require you to pay Japanese tax on all your earnings, 30% plus, and you will be flying mostly back of the clock night freight to some of the most inhospitipal places on earth for a pittance of what it is worth, so don't worry about having a foot in the door, you might find it to be a very empty room. Just remember there has been a 100% rejection from the current pilots, and they would be on A scale, you would be looking at C scale.
