Despite their outward behaviour the ANA pilots don't want foreigners at their company. If they say otherwise they are lying to you
As opposed to the heart warming rolling of the red carpet we would give a foreign pilot force here in the US If the circumstances where reversed?
Just cover your butt and as long as you like flying, do that and then go home to your family.
I am a current contract pilot flying for a Japanese company and plan to be till retirement
So all things considered (politics like in any other job) is not too bad of a gig, is what you are saying. Since dispite of your comment, you will stick around long term
There I agree with you. Just do your duty, stay away from the politics and you will enjoy the gig
