This has been my experience, I'm sure there is a horror story in there.

When you skip a month on C-Class because you are doing back to back, it's pretty much automatic that you will get the commuting allowance, sometimes I do back to back and I've never talked to the contract company about it, I get the commuting allowance every time.

Great thread everyone
(Dom, jrmyl and Free.. Always good to read your highly valued comments - thanks)
Guys Ive been haulin’ Passengers around for 15 odd years with a splash of freight ops thrown in here and there for good measure (on WB Twins - guess where - lol)
My current place of employment offers freight ops/commute only but at a lower going rate. I wonder is it possible to put a permanent request in to fly 767 freight only at ANA on equal pay and terms? I much prefer freight ops to main line but I ain’t gonna sell myself short as required here, ie predominantly do 767 Freight over there?
Assuming I arrange my own visa (by ticking all the boxes myself) could I live elsewhere in Japan and commute over to NRT and still be on the $2000/month cash option given to longer distance commuters on ZED/ID fares?
Assuming ANA fly NRT, NHA, NRT on the 767 (daily or at least very regularly) could one feasibly reverse roster out of NHA?
OR if reverse roster is not possible, jumpseat on the 767F NHA NRT to begin my days on out of NRT?
Thanks and keep the positive thread going
(BTW eventually Applying as Non Typed DEC)

I don't know that any of us have any insight to those numbers. My guess is that it will be like all other years. They have in the past normally had a class every other month of 8 people. Of course there have been many, many classes where there were far fewer than 8 in the class.

- You can live anywhere you want to. If you don't use the C Class travel then you get the $2000.
- No.There is no reverse scheduling out of Naha. We've asked for a base there many times. Not going to happen!
- Jump seats are not available to anyone. Don't ask!
Hope that helps.

1 Left: The guys already answered but we don't really know how things will progress here, all we can say is that AJX will continue to be a part of ANA's strategy going forward but how the line will look by 2020 we just don't know! Our management doesn't even know, this is all kept very close to the vest! We keep hearing rumors here and there but it is all speculation.
Come here for the commuting conditions that thus far are the best in the market and come to select your days off, If you come thinking Cargo or Pax, 76 or 78 or whatever! You will be disappointed! I'm still waiting for that 777 Chicago base I was told about during training 12 years ago...., any day now I have a feeling, any day now!

Not for cars (I don't think the president of Air Japan drives to work) but there is a highway overpass next to the office with a free parking for motorcycles under it. I use it sometimes when there is a day trip, although I've never left the bike there overnight.

Is there a policy against using public transport in uniform? Do they send a car for you to the hotel or your apartment in Narita? I'm just wondering how to get to work if say you had a house in rural Chiba. A motorcycle wouldn't really work if you had your suitcase.

There is no policy against public transit in uniform. However, most people will not have their epaulets or wings on or they wear a jacket over the shirt. I personally just wear regular clothes and change into uniform in the office.

If you're going to need to use public transport perhaps it's better to live in Tokyo than a house in rural Chiba. How often are you doing min rest layovers in Narita? If you lived 90 minutes away by train in Tokyo would the 3 hours you lose to commuting be a factor in missing out on sleep?

We do not do min rest layovers in Narita. We really don't have min rest layovers outside of Taipei and Hong Kong. So don't think of Narita as a layover city. It is your base.

Hi all, this is a great thread!
Second to Stallone's comment, can anyone share what a typical roster is like once you're checked to line? i.e. destinations, lay-over patterns, etc
Thanks in advance!
