join AJX as an F/o, then you will get the licence.
The way I understand it, to convert from any licence to JCAB, as an individual, is very difficult.
forgive the flippant tone.
The way things are done in Japan are very different in many ways to what a westerner would consider the norm. It generally takes a fair amount of time and exposure before a westerner can feel reasonably comfortable with this.
The recent pass rate with DEC's at AJX has not been very good,so I guess they are now looking for pilots who have had some experience flying in the JCAB environment before employing them as DEC's.
Basically, if you have not flown for another Japanese operation, the chances of a DEC position are, for now, pretty slim.
