The F/O's here have told me that the Sky Net F/O's receive a "flight allowance" of JPY6,000 per hour in addition to their base salary, HFX, and that likewise the JAL and JAS pilots also recieve this addition at a similar pay rate, however the F/O's in this company are on a meagre JPY700 per hour.
I understand (from the F/O's) that Sky Net F/O's gross around JPY8-900k per month.
To the best of my knowledge, neither JAL nor any of its subsidiaries employ part-time F/A's (although the way their pay is structured, it sure looks that way for the JAL Express girls), or pilots, and as the foreign pilots working in JALways and JAL Express were trained by JAL union pilots, and occasionally share the cockpit with them, there is no reason for the "sweet girl" to respond that way.
I share the same intrigue with you, VR-HFX, of the devious methods some company executives employed in "covering their trail", in trying to avoid what might appear to some to be corporate greed, when full disclosure is demanded.
It's not something new (to place assets in family members 'names), however that doesn't mean that it has stopped, does it?
