Not recommended unless you're Japanese or South Africa: Japanese on their own seniority list and get priority, unionized and only fly 50 hours a month; South African "managers" control the expat non-union side of the company and manipulate everything they can to help themselves and their friends, so they come second after Japanese; last of all comes the average line joe blow who gets whats left by other two groups. Bottom of the barrel are US and Canadians who are most abused by scheduling due to having most commute flight choice, also lowest pay in company (commute allowance $400 pm, compared to $1450+ pm for others).
You will hate life after a year of flying 85+ hours a month and another 10-20 hours DH (either on company jet which is ok, or on cheapest available economy commercial flight available booked at last minute). Weak duty regs (that can be thrown out if operational req): eg NRT-LAX scheduled 2 man ops. Very short right now due guys leaving (both seats). In last week captain did NRT to AMS, then 8 hours rest, and back AMS to NRT. Extreme fatige is the way it is: night flight on your body clock followed by day flight then another night flight. Company nurse (Jap) has own rules and go higher whats required by JCAB medical; so you can pass medical but if she see's something on your report or any exray she can order extra tests/procedures. Sick leave does not carry over to next year: a 20 year Captain got a cancer diagnosis and after his 12 sick days was terminated. Where do I stop...?
New guys in training right now - out of 17 hired, 15 are from South Africa ummmmm
