I haven't put the 767 on my FAA licence, so I certainly don't bother with that one. I don't have an EASA licence but those that do don't seem too worried about it. Since the licence is perpetual there's no need to keep the type rating valid unless you're going for a European job where they require a current type rating. If that's the case then just do an LPC/LST (as required) and then it's all current again. Pointless doing an LPC every year if you're not going to use or don't need it to keep your licence valid. Oz is so screwed up at the moment with the new Part 61 licences that nobody seems to know what is required, so I just keep mine current with a 'normal' biennial check and we'll see what happens once the dust has settled

Thanks for the last few posts- quite informative.
I am interested to see what a typical roster looks like- could anyone share theirs?
PM is fine, and if you have any other info regarding this contract you'd like to share I would like to hear it.

Hello all-
This is my first post on these forums...this thread in particular has been a great wealth of information regarding ANA. I just received an interview date in Tokyo in late February. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a sim prep company/ program in the USA so that I can get some 767 time before the assessment. I am a regional guy in the states with zero Boeing time. I thought I may have read somewhere that there was a particular sim company in Miami that could prepare candidates specifically for ANA but I can't remember for sure. Thanks!

After landing, who gives the "speedbrake open" call?
Get the SOP calls in there......, it goes a long way!

Hi,
I appreciate very much the information provided, Itīs been very helpful indeed.
I am Spanish but of Asian descent (adopted) with Spanish citizenship and EASA licence. Would my ethnicity be an issue during the screening proccess? Are there currently non-Japanese Asians flying in the company?
Regards

Thank you very much, Also I got the chance of learning Japanese during college Should I remark it during the interview?
The same when you get the job, training will be with questions in Japanese all the time and they love to find that obscure information hiden withing the plethora of useless manuals we have
Do what you feel is right when you are sitting across the tribal elders..., but it is how you come across and the sim eval that will get you this job, I don't think that knowing some Japanese will put you ahead of the pack, if anything it will place you in another cultural dimension in which the normal laws of space/time continuum don't apply.
I'd think it would be better not to let on you have any Japanese language skills. The entire operation is supposed to be conducted in English and is catered for in English. There is no requirement to speak Japanese and may actually, as Dom said, be used to your detriment.

the 767F is still very much in the picture for the foreseeable future, as well.
