I was wondering if hired what kind of type rating do you get (FAA or not)?
You will get a Japanese ATPL with its appropriate type certificate..., it will be an independent license that has nothing to do with any other ICAO subscriber.
If you are curious as to how to get the type certificate on your FAA license..., the most economical way would be to wait until you get some hours on the hull (500 I believe is what they ask) and do a course for experienced pilots in type that are offered at PanAm academy, they run 8 or 9K and you study on your own and get a couple of sims and the check ride.

Logbook
How particular/picky is Air Japan when it comes to the neatness of your logbook?? Most of logbooks are fine and all the numbers add up, but I made a few errors in the last few pages as I was updating and had to draw a line through/write over them. Cause for concern?
Well, I really don't think that there is a perfect logbook, I think that would raise a flag more likely than having a blemish on your books..., the important thing is to have the math be correct...!
