How dare you come on this forum preaching optimistic news and, what's more, how rude of you to have news that (a)comes from the Company directly (b)agrees with the offices of AJV and (most importantly) (c)goes against the all-knowlegeable Wind, his 'friend', Storpikk and all his good mates in JCAB.
You're obvioulsy deluded, so, like me, do not continue to enjoy the situation in which you find yourself because you're wrong
As for the non-knobbers on this Forum; come on in, the water's lovely
Edited to add. PS: Have you actually seen anyone using the outside pool this year. I haven't

Oh, look, he knows the name of one of the NRT pubs, therefore he must be in the 'know' about all things Japanese.
Yeah, you probably would remember your first beer. After all, nobody would be able to forget the awful taste of the ice cold, watered down gnat's urine you Septics, laughingly, call beer.
If you're up for a drinking challenge then I'll gladly bring along my English beer mate and we'll go for it. The loser buys...............and we know who the loser is around here!
A yank writing about drinking. Now I've seen it all

Here, here to handoverRichards response!
It really is nicely done, I suspect that people interested in joining ANA and reading the forum have now got a balanced view and will see through the bizarre rantings of 'the two'
I see the money and the mouth are not going to meet, how about I double it???? $2,000.00

I have not laughed so hard in a long time
2 things are desperately needed, therapy and spell checker. I thought you needed at least a high school diploma to be a pilot?
"Sigarrete" God that was funny

I hope you are still hearing the thundering applause from your fans here at AJV/AJX Mr. Handover, let me extend an invitation to have a few drinks with the boys, we promise non of that watered down imitation beer. I just had to post this again, it deserved an encore
bitter, sad, yelping puppies --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The great thing about this thread is that it is one of only two or three company-specific threads where the employees unanimously defend their company. I think that says a lot. I follow this thread because (of course) I have my application in and it is a very pleasant thread to follow, where everyone is just trying to get on with what PPRuNe is intended for (but rarely is) ie a source of sharing knowledge, tainted only by the unwelcomed, annoying, depraved ramblings that spit from the poisoned minds of two very embittered individuals. We all know there are many, many miserable pilots out there, and probably most pilots are less happy than those under AJV/AJX, and it seems two of them who are especially miserable and jealous are:Storpikk and Devine Wind
with your clever use of and ) this is not the forum for your feeble grieveances. Don't you see you are getting nowhere with any of us here? No one here cares about you or your problems.To crj705, poundernow, serenity etc: why stoop into these idiots' gutter? You have no need to defend yourselves to these fools. Why waste your time? It's like yelling at a goldfish. Whatever their problem is; whether they are justifying failing an ANA interview or have serious problems in their personal lives (or, probably, both), leave them be. Ignore the fools and they will go away and scream at a wall.To the 'pitiful pair' who say they "mean no one harm" and then use terms like "hammer may hit your ass" and even threaten: "You step on me, and I will step all over you...That is a Promise": I'll keep this clean as it is a professional forum, but I think we all know the strong language I am really implying when I tell you to "go away", and it hurts you, because you know that everyone else reading this thread is nodding their heads and laughing at you now.So you're not going to take the $1000 challenge so we can all see you put your money where your toxic little yelping mouths are?You're not welcome here. Now be gone. No one's interested.Handover.

You're all very welcome. In that case I'll PM one of you if I ever get the invitation to Japan for a screening. I'm flattered for the praise. "I'll definately be honnered to enjoy a bear and maybee evin a 'Sigarrete' with you." 
Meanwhile my application is still bouncing back and forth between my email and the agency's. It's an infuriating part of the process, but the views expressed here of AJV/AJX by you all is the one thing that keeps my motivation up. A company devoid of whingers!!!!???
Although, from what I have read here, it seems that the company is about to go broke, so perhaps I ought to withdraw my application...
Yeah right.
I drafted a response to Storpikk's lesson to us all on the Japanese, and their use of scissors, but erased it because I didn't want to contribute to turning this rather unusually postive thread into a slug fest. But after reading that post (the 'Sigarrete' one) I did think "aaaaahhh, so perhaps we're starting to get some idea about who this chap is". I'm guessing by his insider's knowledge that he's Japanese (normally exceptionally pleasant people, and I'm sure most of us agree, surely the most polite and honourable race) and screwed up his interview (I can't guess why, but "well done" the interviewers on that one) for 'his' job and since then has seen many foreigners (all of whom are apparently Americans who drink at Ozzie bars, and by the way is the tin foil hat part of the uniform or do you all just wear it out everytime you go for a beer) signing the contract that he wanted so badly, and he, my friends, is a racist.
And a disgrace to his own people.
The nasty attitudes of these two reminds me of a guy our mates used to know. We stopped wondering why he was so foul after a rather soussed girl-friend of ours went into a bedroom with him at a party to give him a rare-for-him treat, and emerged minutes later in stitches. She didn't know God made them so small. I know it would really bother me too.
Meguro, you could make it a $1 bet; there's no money where that mouth is, but I don't doubt a few other things have been put there over the years, albeit with substantially more force!

HandoverRichard,
Great post! You're the kind of guy we need on staff, best of luck!
I agree with your conclusion about the national origin of the agitators,. they're a couple of 'Black truckers'. The Japanses guys with modest equipment driving around in Black vans with the rising sun flag screaming through a loud speaker wanting a rematch for WW11.
At the end of the day, the job is ok, I enjoy it, great work colleagues, no ego's or politics, good equipment and dead easy. We're seeing a substantial increase in loads recently, it will take a while to come through on the economic data, but things are looking up. I'm glad 'the two' got weeded out, I can see why.
The bet remains open if they ever get the guts to step up to the plate.
That's all.

I've been enjoying this bun-fight, really!
I got the no thanks e-mail, but sitting out the year to reapply.
But just not the 76, no!!!!!!!!!!!
It takes all types of course, we have quite a few positive contributors on this post, a negative one was inevitable at some stage.
Dominican, Fratemate, crj705 and all +'s don't let these twits get to you, your + posts have helped me and plenty other ppruner's in making up our mind's.
To all the -'s please do go away, others are enjoying this thread.

Here comes the newbie...
OK. So the bunfight rages on, but the general content of the 40+ pages in this thread is generally pretty good.Unfortunately, I'm going to bring it back to topic by asking whether the requirements to have a "Valid Jet Aircraft Command Rating on the ATPL" specifically relate to a heavy jet (B737/B757/B767 etc) or simply a corporate jet (HS125/G550 etc)?Similarly, are the experience requirements for Non-Type Rated FOs with "Commercial Jet Time in excess of 1,000 hours" and "Total Flight Time in excess of 3,000 hours" figures that relate specifically to heavy or corporate jet time?Thanks for answering...The G.

You will be allowed to interrupt the b&%ch slapping only this once
The requirement is for any jet type on your ATPL and so does the hours, now having said that the content of your question is ""Commercial Jet Time in excess of 1,000 hours" and "Total Flight Time in excess of 3,000 hours" figures that relate specifically to heavy or corporate jet time?"
Although it is not specific as to what type of jet they do hire individuals with airline experience, there are a few of us that have flown corporate in a previous life but I don't know of any pilot here hired with only corporate jet times.
gseraf,Meguro, Frate, CRJ have you heard of any of the guys coming exclusively from the corporate flying world?
In my view when they say commercial jet time, they mean transport category (ie. regional jets) and beyond

GS2008,
Mmm, hard one this, and one that I certainly cannot be sure about.
The Parc website says:
Only for captains does it mention anything about size/types of aircraft, so I'm really not sure about FOs but I would be concerned about the "airline 2 man experience" phrase.
As far as I know (and more than willing to be told I'm wrong) there's nobody at AJV who has come from corporate flying. Some certainly have corporate experience but have been to an 'airline' before coming to AJV.
In my mind there's only one way to find out and it's not going to be through the umming and erring of us amateurs. Send in an application to Parc, CReW, whomever and see what happens. 'No' is the worst thing they can say and it's only going to have cost the time and effort of an application.
Good luck, it would be interesting to hear about those whizzy bizjets that go faster and higher than we do

Experience/ Skills:

Minimum requirements for interested First Officers will be:

- Commercial Jet Time in excess of 1,000 hours
- Valid ICAO State ATPL
- Valid Jet Aircraft Command Rating on the ATPL

Hello there. I have a sim and interview comming up in November and just have a few quickies about the sim:
1. How do you know you are 2nm abeam the runway for the visual cct?
2. Do you ever get to 250 knots in the profile? It doesn't say it anywhere in the profile but has a power setting for it in the power chart.
3. Do they enter the runway centerline for the visual cct so you can use the noodle in map mode to help (sorry I'm on the airbus and we have no noodles there)?
4. The flaps calls in the C/L says to say "no light" after the flap number. What light do they mean? I asked a mate on the 767 and he wasn't sure either.
5. Is the 767 flown to Cat D speeds and requirements?
6. The engine failure C/L says to disconnect the auto-throttle. Can someone confirm that you then fly the sequence with manual thrust with auto-pilot on until base when it all come off?
7. It says to fly level at the MDA on teh VOR app. Is this how they normally do things on the line?
8. Lastely if anyone has had an interview lately would they kindly post the questions they were asked. Yes I have read the whole forum and noted all the questions that popped up but I would like to know if they ask the same questions consistantly or if they are throwing a few new ones in these days.
Many thanks. Wish me luck.

Mike,
November class has been full for couple of weeks. Good luck for January. Right now interview to class time frame is anywhere between 3 to 6 months.
Poita,
1. Progress page 2/2, crosstrack error shows your distance from course
2. you never get to faster than 190kts, stay at flaps 1 (200 kts speed limit in airport enviroment)
3. fly the visual as explained in interview package, use timing from abeam point, and you can use the noodle from base to final but do not rely on it
4. Above the flap indicator is 2 annunciator lights: leading edge and trailing edge, they illuminate for flap/slat asymmetry and disagreement
5. I think that it is cat D
6. You are correct, remember to set MCT during climb and reduce thrust on downwind to maintain 190kts/flaps 1.
Make sure you memorize all the power settings that you need during the profile, this is all about how well you learn the sim package. Know all the checklists and calls and you will be fine.
Last couple of classes everybody has had between 6000 and 10,000 total time and about half had a 767 type rating.
