Thanks fellas. I'm working on Air Japan and KAL as we speak. I'm also looking into the Mid East. The two asian carriers seem to be a better fit in terms of commute and not having to up-root the family, yet again.
Indeed, 'wannabes' forum does shed some, not so not appealing, light on the whole SO deal. Still have some self respect left to go down that path
.
Thanks again.
