Moderators should now close this thread. AJV has ceased to be and our 'Colleagues' at AJX have provided no support. Not only have we lost money, we have lost 10% of our days off and will have to replace our passport every 10 months. It feels good to join the lemming like rush to deteriorate terms and conditions for pilots worldwide!
Anybody relying on an agency to support them while they are working in a country as alien as Japan should take note; Parc, HACS & IAC will do whatever is required to ensure that they earn money. Your contract is irrelevant and may stand in the way of your agency's profits, as a result it may be a casualty of agency profiteering. Bon Chance!!
