Living in Tokyo
I understand this is a commuting contract but I have a few questions for anyone that is or has tried living in Tokyo while flying for AJX. I have been offered a course and am considering living in the Shinagawa area.
1) Is there a lot of short turnarounds in NRT with min rest? Would it be reasonable to take a 1 hr 15 min train home or would that waste too much time?
2) If you get called in on a blank day or reserve day, how much time do you have to report? Could I be sitting in my apartment in Tokyo and have enough time to report to NRT if I get called in? Unforeseen delays aside of course.
3) I need to look into train schedules more closely but if someone is familiar, do trains run from NRT to Tokyo all night? Do the AJX check in/out times for PAX and cargo work with the train schedule? Would I have issues if there is a late return or a late night checkin?
4) Do you guys foresee any other issues with the idea?
I hope i'm not asking questions that are already answered in this thread. Thanks!
