Dominicano,
Thanks a lot for the detailed answers. Beer will be heading your way very soon (hopefully)
I just received the profiles to study them.
Allow me to squeeze some more info from your experience with ANA.
About the commuting:
1.- When using their business class confirmed ticket, do you get to pick the time, carrier and routing or you just receive what they give you?.
2.- Does the commuting have to be on Star Alliance carriers?
3.- If commuting on ANA do you get upgraded to first if seats are available? (like KAL)
4.- When commuting to work, do you have to arrive in TYO a full day in advance or can you arrive early on the same day to start flying at night?
5.- When commuting to home do they roster you in a way that you finish early so that you can start travelling home on that same day?
6.- In your case with 10 days + 2 from A/L (total of 12 off), how many days do u actually get at home? 10 or 11?
7.- How do they manage around christmas and new years? Is there a point system, seniority based, luck?
8.- Have you ever been offered a short listed month (part time 50% or 75%) like they say in the application package?
9.- Can you get unpaid leave for unforeseen circumstances (death, births, serious illnesses, etc...)?
10.- Lastly, is it fair to say that the rostering department is on the helping side?
Thanks a lot for everything.
