737lpa,
If you apply you will apply as a DEC and they will accept that application because you are qualified as such. You will train and 'test' as a DEC. I have not heard of any DEC being offered FO, in the pretty unlikely event of not getting through.
Given your qualifications, I would think it very likely you would pass the course. Although not absolute (and there have been some quite big surprises), the ones who are not successful are normally those that cannot just shut their mouths about what they've done before and just pretend the Japanese way of doing things is great :roll eyes: We all know it's not and we all know there are far better ways of operating but, at the end of the day, it's their train set and so you just keep your head down and say 'thank you' when you're told a complete load of crap by one of the Japanese instructors. It's all a game and all you've got to do is play it by their rules for 6 or 7 months. Once you're on the line you'll find it is a LOT more relaxed and, for the most part, like any other airline you've ever flown for......but without the 64 sectors per day of RYR
As Mr Dominican says; they are still short of pilots and will recruit you as a DEP. The agencies are sometimes quite surprised because they find what they think are very suitable applicants but, for reasons only known to themselves, AJX do not even put them through the selection process. With this in mind, if you apply and are asked to attend the interview then there's a good chance you're already a LONG way to getting the job.
Good luck and let us know how you get along.
