From: Over the Pacific mostly
-10,800,000 yen per year before tax for captains and 8,400,000 before tax for F/O's
-productivity pay over 50 hours 15,000 Y for captains and 7,500Y for F/O's (it is expected that you will fly more than 50 hours every month)
-plus an annual 20% for captains and 10% performance bonus (don't know what the parameters are to actually get it) of your basic salary
-2,000,000 for captains and 1,500,000 one time sign in bonus for F/O's
-Commuting expense within the network and public transportation reimbursement, you don't have to live in the Tokyo metropolitan area, you can rent a 4 bedroom home in Narita for example for $1,500 usd. the further you live from the city center the more affordable it gets. outside of the Tokyo metropolitan area you don't pay the additional 10% city tax and the social insurance is paid by the employer, not the employee. Not disagreeing with you in terms that $140k/year is low for living in Japan, just ironing out the details.
-Annual leave is 20 days and 24 days sick leave
-you pay for your initial type rating
-no housing nor school allowance
-loss of license insurance is provided but part of taxable income
-layover allowance is 5,000y within Japan and 4,000y outside Japan

Not stellar if you ask me but it is what it is, a LCC, I didn't expect it to be the best paid gig in Japan, lets see how many taker they get
