More than a little research required

I was non-type rated and do not feel like diesel fuel but yes, I do have pulse....
Biggest part of working in Japan is the 7-8 mths of training to pass the JCAB checks. Even if "qualified or over qualified" if the company does not think you can do that,then why offer employment? Thats the idea of an interview surely?
Its not just basic flying skills, but also ability to listen,do what's required and not think you know everything ,having a "this is how I do it" attitude.
Passing the Initial JCAB medical is hard so am not surprised it may become a pre-requisite, as it is at most other Japanese airlines.
As to offering interviews to anyone. I see they have raised their requirements.
At least Skymark is being selective, if you want to work for airlines that "offer a job" to anyone with a pulse, then China is calling. I for one would much rather be in Japan than China any day.And to make it clear,I have worked in China.
