I have never applied to any Japanese Airlines, although have the prerequisites.
I just cannot bare the thought of 6-9 months training.
I understand it is 6 months to obtain a JCAB licence. Is that correct.
Why doesnt Japan accept ICAO ATPLs and give a JCAB equivalent.
Whats so special about the JCAB licence.
Im really surprised so many Expat pilots would work in Japan.
Is there any use for the JCAB licence once you leave Japan, can you trade it in for an ICAO, FAA, JAR licence easily, or is it waisted ground study time?.
Just seems pointless spending 6-9 months training just to fly an aircraft Ive already flown as PIC for several thousand hours.
