Hello,

does Air Japan accept CRJ captains/first officers?

[galdian]

All the agencies - parc, longreach, crew, IAC, rishworth et al - have the requirements on their web sites.
Some have the T&C's well outlined, others want you to contact them first so they can try and sign you up/lock you in.

Yes. As has been said, go to the agencies website and the requirements are listed right there. I recommend Crews website as it clearly lists what qualifications they are looking for plus other t&c's.

Is there a preference on Agencies? Example, I have been told by a EVA pilot that APAS was the best for them. Any knowledge on AJX best?

Crew is the best.

Hello guys.

I just finished reading this entire thing. From the AJX/AJV days up until today. I can say that this is certainly the best thread in this website.

I'd like to thank Fratermate, Dom, jrmyl, gtseraf and the others for all the info posted here over the years. I just sent my application through CREW today. Im a bit low on time (I just got to 3000) but Ill give it my best anyhow.

Hopefully Ill meet you guys sometime soon. If that happens, first round is on me.

Cheers.

Quick question: any update on how is the 787/767 thing developing? I mean regarding routes and transitions etc.

You read the entire thread and you’re still going to apply at this hell hole? With judgement like yours you’ll fit in perfectly.

​​​​​​Yeah. I mean, right now I fly 90 hours a month on a 737. Half of that is back side of the clock enjoying the Brazilian ATC English, and am making about 25% of what I would make in this gig. Why wouldn't I? Of course if you're American and can get in a mayor in USA or Australian with QF that's better than this, but what's my other option? The Sandpit? Go see that thread and try to motivitate yourself to apply there after it. All aviation jobs are gonna have their negatives. There's no "perfect" job. And for what I need right now, this is by far the best offer in the market.

Hello everyone!
I just want to know, nowadays, what is the average time to have any response about the results of the screening?
Thank you in advance.

[eddiet]

how is the company when it comes to guys going on long medical leave? eg. surgery. are they generally sympathetic and will wait for you to get back? or will they terminate your contract since you are no longer productive.

[gtseraf]

so far, it appears the company gives the guys maximum opportunity to return, I would say that the majority of those who had long absence due to medical have returned. What obstacles were or were not put in their way, I guess, they will be able to give more info. Thank goodness I have not had to deal with that issue.

[Pfly3]

Sorry guys what is currently the average time for an upgrade there considering you have quite a bit of experience ?
Thanks

[J.P.LL]

I too had “troubles” and with help from the Company Doctor, got back online.

[Montcalm]

Looking at the salary grid... What do they consider "second year". One year from date of hire, or one year after end of training?

Also, in the US, longevity carries over when an FO upgrades. Wondering if the same rule applies over there : If a FO upgrades in his 4th year, will he make 4th year CA pay?Or will he go back to first year pay?

Thanks.

[eddiet]

gtseraf, J.P.LL,

thanks! hopefully someone can provide more info on this. I have a recurring medical issue that needs to be addressed periodically. Just wanna be sure before I make the jump

[jrmyl]

You can expect to start the upgrade process around the 4 year mark regardless of what experience you bring to the company. Once you upgrade you will sign a new contract as a captain. It starts at year 1.

So if I understand correctly, a 4 years FO (grossing ~$13k/month) takes a pay cut while in upgrade training (~$10k/month), to end up as a year 1 CA at ~$14.7k/month.

Sounds very lame. What's the point of going through the trouble and responsibilities of an upgrade to make marginally more than a FO?

[gtseraf]

possibly the fact one would be getting widebody command hours to find a better gig elsewhere?
