Hi Skymark conditions are eroding like many Airlines
and with the 2 or 3 new low cost starting soon it will be worst
They lost about 20 to 25 expats pilots since January 2011.
Skymark is operating 23 or 24 B737NG but now there is a rumor
that they may change the fleet again for A320
D ont go to Skymark thinking that you will fly the A380
Maybe they bought some but they d ont have them yet and
I was told by the Chief Pilot that only Japanese pilots will fly the A380
Before I left the flying was 6 days ON 1 day OFF (6-1-6-1-6 OFF 9 or 10 days)
depending of your agency
By the way be ready for a 6 months course without going back home
and Skymark d ont have their own checker so you have to meet the idiots from
JCAB every year for your Sim Check and Route check
Interview should not be a problem
Usualy some Japanese manager and Peter the expat chief, mostly friendly talking
and probably a 30 minutes in the B737NG Sim to check if you can basically fly
