Goodluck getting anyone unless you're paying the bucks !
I've been with a Japanese carrier for just on 10 years and I can tell you there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that anyone up here will accept a fulltime postion in Japan on JQ pay. Not after the trouble you go through to get your
ticket here.
As for the JCAB ATPL, sorry but there are no short cuts. You can look forward to 7 months training if you hold a JCAB ATPL and type rating and around 12 months if you don't.
If you are rated , it wont really count here, you have to do it again, that will take about 6 months.
All of that done under the firm but friendly hand of JACAB, something to look forward too
Around 80% of the guys who have ever applied here also fail the medical, I did my initial in Sydney, that took 3 days.
Goodluck , waiting with bated breath
PS 2000 JAL guys out of work..... that number is far from correct
