Meguro,
Thanks for your feedback. To answer your question, I'm typed in (and currently flying) the aircraft and would be applying for a Captain position. I'm curious as to why that is the most unsuccessful group. Is it because many are to set in their ways? Is it attitudes?
As aviators we are taught to access and manage risk. Giving up my current position and coming to Japan would be a risky move. One that I would not be willing to make if I didn't feel that I had a good chance of completing training as well as fitting into the program.
Thanks again to everyone for their input.
