I interviewed last June and successfully completed the screening (inteview+sim+medical). I was told to standby for a future course date. I waited for about 4 months and heard nothing. So, I called and asked about my application and was later told that upon further review of my medical exam results, I was no longer being considered for the position. I was ok with it but I just didn't like the way they kept me in the dark. If I were you, I'd go and get on the horn if you were told to expect a class in March. BTW, I interviewed for FO with PARC.

Hey MachDaddy,
sorry to hear that. Did you call the contract agency to find out or was it directly to Japan? Which agency was it that kept you in the dark like that?
I applied with PARC. Still waiting to get a confirm for my application.
Finally, would anyone recomment applying with both PARC/ CREW and take the first one who can offer an interview? Makes sense?
Merry X-Mas!

I went through Crew for my interview and so far they have been very easy to work with while I wait for class. One of my good friends applied through both PARC and Crew and ironically after a couple of weeks was called for an interview by both companies within 3 hours of each other. Since PARC called first he had already accepted an interview date by the time Crew contacted him. This seemed to be of no big deal as he got hired and is in the January class.

Sounds like both agencies are getting the same slots then.
Are these ongoing interview dates or rather a session of interviews every now and then ? Meaning, how much time for preparation can one expect?

Well I don't know if there is a solid answer to that question. I had almost a month between notification and when I actually flew over to Japan for the screening. I know one fellow who only had one week.
I know that they only interview two candidates per day but I am not sure how many days a month they conduct screenings.

All Nippon Airways or Air Japan
Does anyone know if they prefer the candidate to be single, is being married with a family a disadvantage at the interview?
Also thinking of moving nearer to Japan, maybe North Australia or Phillipines, would they prefer that?
Which is the best one to go for Passenger or freight?
Any advice appreciated as just about to send application in.
Any do's and don'ts re autobiogaphical section?

AJV or AJX
I've been there awhile and flown for both passenger side (AJX) and freight side (AJV). Much of a muchness. AJX get 10 days off in a row per month while AJV get 11. Can add 2 days annual leave to each month also. If coming as a co-pilot you will get your command at about the same time whether AJX or AJV (between 3-4 years from start of initial course). AJX guys spend more time in and out of Narita and Haneda (both Tokyo airports) while AJV guys go in and out of Narita and Kansai (Osaka) and next year (I think) Naha. Haneda will also come on line as a freight stop when the new runway is complete. Flying for both will be within the Pacific, and north and south asia. AJV is supposed to offload the USA (Anchorage/Chicago) flying in April to another carrier; however nothing official announced yet. If it does it will expand its Asia flying instead.
Several pilots commute to UK/Europe/USA. Takes a little longer naturally. Some pilots live in Thailand/Singapore/Bali with a shorter commute home. Some pilots are single and some have families.
Good contract, good working conditions, nice aircraft, good check and training, very very long training, no prisoners taken during ground school and sim training (either 'do it our way' or out). Once through very enjoyable with occasional periods of dispair.

Some intel for those waiting to hear from a pilot that applied at the beginning of October and interviewed a month and change later (beginning of November) medical was done in Tokyo and he had to re do some portion of the medical test (not uncommon) the job offer took about a month and a half and he was offered a spot on the March class, he got the impression from the recruiter that there are still some slots open for the March class.
My wish is that you all get the gig for the new year
Good luck

For what it is worth to everyone that is waiting to hear something.... I interviewed in September and passed. I then did the medical in the US at the beginning of October. I received an email today stating that my overall screening was unsuccessful. I can only assume that I was unsucessful due to some medical reason as I was told I passed the interview and sim. I am in fairly descent medical condition (not overweight or high blood pressure or anything that I am aware of).
It would have been nice to find out if I am going to drop dead from some unknown medical condition. Or quite possibly, I passed the Sim/interview but didn't score high enough to compete with the recent applicants.
Good luck to all that made it.

FWIW. I interviewed in early November for an FO spot. In early January, I received the official offer for a mid March class. When I got the contract, it was dated 2.5 weeks earlier and apparently I had not been notified when the offer had been made. Not sure who dropped the ball, but I was glad to get offer, all the same.

Hello,
I'm in the same situation,sent my application form to CREW(for Captain non-rated ) on the 21st December,then had a reply 2 days later to send them more details ,which I did on the 24th.Since that day no reply either
Is it just a coincidence because of the christmas, new year holidays etc ???
Does anybody have more information?
Belated Happy New Year to all

maybe recruitment for AJV has ceased for time being. 
BTW: for those of you that haven't done the medical in downtown yet, dress yourself with a lot of patience. I really hope they get a doctor certified in the Narita clinic again soon

Hi All,
New to the forum. Thanks for all the great gouge. Just some info for those who are asking about recruiting/notification. I applied with Parc last week. After confirming with me that all my paperwork was in order, they submitted said paperwork to AJV. The next day Parc let me know that I could expect screening and wished me good luck. The day after that a screening date was set up for me in February. I was then e-mailed all the screening info with sim profile. Much quicker than I ever expected. Parc was fantastic with me.
Best to everyone.
