going to Sky
for those considering Sky, and to answer some of the questions on previous threads, you should know:
If you do not hold a JCAB license your training will be a MINIMUM of 6 months, plan on 8 months.
As said there are NO in house Checkers At SKY all checks are by the JCAB (can you say roll the dice, as the JCAB hates Skymark)
If you stumble and fail a check, you will sit in the right seat for at least 6 months! no rush from Sky on this as they are desperately short of F/O's
The management group at Sky are on their own planet, and your not invited to to visit
I hear that all expats have been given till Feb. to move to Kobe or as one other said "your contract is cancelled" That's how they roll at Sky
The ME may not be an ideal place to live, but at least you will fly for a "real airline" with associate benefits. At Sky you only fly Domestic Japan and stay in motels on layovers. They say they are getting A380's but last I heard only the Japan nationals will fly them.
As in my last post my advise,,,,"stay away" I got away like some many others and none are looking back
