Oh, so now your an expert on Japanese aviation? I thought the Middle East was you field? And South East Asia?
Got any shiny pictures of a 787 you can share? We simply can't wait!
Nice time-wasting comment Mana! Just posting a relevant news link. You add nothing like usual because you are an idiot!

Saw that shortage coming last year. No crew to fill the slot's. I see RAL still
looking for JCAB 320 rated as well.

18K / month net with Japanese taxes paid, non type DEC position with business class commute and 12 days a month off and a month vacation every year...! Voilą.., no more shortage:ok:
Gosh they must be hurting with those flight cancellations! Where are the pilots going though?

The Dominican got it spot on. And I don't think he was sarcastic either. I would add permanent contract too.
They are asking for decent time on a type which you can use virtually in any company of the world at the moment, if these captains are to leave their jobs there need to be a very good offer.. we' ll see if for once the wheel spins our direction.

Can someone name a legacy airline with good terms and conditions which is having trouble attracting and retaining pilots ?:hmm:

Qatar Airways - no trouble attracting, lots of trouble retaining, so am told.
18k/month - I guess if they can pay 10k/month to a hill-billy to drive a truck full of dirt in western Oz then I suppose 18k is not too unreasonable...if you can get it.
