Well, we've had a few people rejoin after they'd left (having completed their contracts) and rumour has it that AJX has asked certain individuals if they'd like to come back. I also heard tell that some people who had not been successful were re-invited to apply after 6 months or so. Maybe they only just missed the grade, I really don't know.
The main point, surely, is what is it going to cost to have another go? A bit of internet access or a phone call and you'll get a pretty good idea. I think I would be tempted to use CREW if you previously used PARC and vice versa and, unless specifically asked, I don't think I'd make a show of having previously applied.
They are still very keen to recruit new FOs but Capts need to have a JCAB ATPL (and preferably the 767 type rating but not absolutely required), so slap in an application if that suits your wants.

Yes, having flown the type (or it's smaller brother) would most certainly give you some plus points. Even though your rating would have expired the Japanese don't see it that way and you will be considered type rated and do the slightly shorter course, providing they can match you up with another type rated pilot.

If you join through longreach you are employed by Crew, if you are in Australia you have the benefit of good private health insurance through Bupa Australia (top hospital + extra's with no excess). Greatness of Insurance is dependent on which country you intend on living in.
Musta
It also depends on what type of insurance you're after.
I believe the medical cover for CREW covers the whole family but no long term disability.
Parc pays medical cover for the contractor only but has a disability cover for a 2 year period (with many caveats,mind you)
I haven't looked into the differences too much but all the contract companies seem to offer slightly different packages in that respect.

If you join CREW, through Longreach, you will get private health cover in Australia and only travel insurance outside Australia.
If you join CREW direct you will get 100% coverage for your whole family anywhere in the world through Aetna Global. It's great insurance. Pays 100% of most procedures/visits (except dental, usually 75% I think) Did I say it's great insurance.
CREW will provide loss of licence cover for 2 years. Costs approx $120/month I think. At the moment 3 month waiting period. They are currently looking into a shorter wait but slightly higher premium.
Hope this helps.

First time poster. I completed the interview and medical the other week and was wondering what the wait time is like these days to hear back for the results? Also, how much weight is placed on hearing?
Thanks Folks,

I'm not trying to be rude but I don't get the question. They would place the same weight on your hearing as your heart beat. Same as any country. They have requirements for both. There is nothing you or I can do about it!
Having said that I hope you did well at the interviews.

I do agree that Canuk's question is pretty pointless but, just for Dom, he's already applied. He said he'd attended the interview and medical. Quite what effect us saying the hearing is vitally important or not important at all would have I cannot fathom. As Absolutely said, hearing meets the standard required = pass. Hearing does not = fail. You'll soon find out.
I want a like button for Iggle Piggle's comment :-) "WHAT WAS THAT, SLAP CLIVE?"

Hi guys,
how is the company in regards to different roster patterns? i.e. 4 weeks on 4 off?
How are they in regards to a prolonged sickness etc like a bad flu/sinus issue?
Any news on how the 787 integration will happen/work; and when?
What is the typical accommodation setup people are doing after they are trained? And how is the accommodation during training?
Is there transport to/from hotel for work during training and/or when you are on the line?
How are the medical renewals?
Thanks

Hi guys,
how is the company in regards to different roster patterns? i.e. 4 weeks on 4 off? You can choose whatever days off you want for the most part. You get 12 days off plus 2 vacation days per month. You can do those back to back if you want.
How are they in regards to a prolonged sickness etc like a bad flu/sinus issue? They will work with you, but are very strict on seeing a doctor to get permission to come back.
Any news on how the 787 integration will happen/work; and when?Nope. Nothing. Nada.
What is the typical accommodation setup people are doing after they are trained?After training many people are getting apartments in Narita or Tokyo. Or they stay at a hotel in Nartia. And how is the accommodation during training? During training you are in a furnished apartment in Tokyo.
Is there transport to/from hotel for work during training and/or when you are on the line? If you stay at the hotel in NRT then there is hotel provided transport. If you have your own place you are on your own
How are the medical renewals?Renewals aren't too bad. Once you pass the first one there shouldn't be any issues as long as you keep in the same physical condition.
Thanks You're welcome.

Hi guys,
First of all, thank you all for all the information you've been posting. I spent a couple of hrs reading it all.
I applied to the 767 FO position and was told that will have a first screening in LAS and then in Tokyo. Apparently the sim in LAS is just a visual circuit. Is this something new? I don't recall reading about it in any post.
Any information/advise is welcomed, feel free to send me a PM too.
Hope to see you all in Japan!
