Rocky,
Congrats,
How long did it take from apply to being invited for the screening ? Did you turn in your application via Crew or any other agencies?

It would be exciting if you could shared some up -to -date interview info with us!

Hi all, pretty amazing all the response that has been given here.

Also I'm in the selection and next month I'll have it in Frankfurt.
I do have a question about where to practise the ATPL questions for at this interview?
Is there a package to buy somewhere online to practise some of these questions?

Many thanks and have a great day!

Cheers, Chris

Talking

At last, after 17 odd years, something interesting to read on here!

I've been going through some of the forms and there is a question "are you prepared to relocate to Asia/Pacific?" (on the Longreach form). I assume this is to cut back on commuting costs.

I am looking to take this job to allow me to move home to South Africa. Is the commuting really to anywhere? Or will they have an issue with paying for J class tickets to Cape Town from Tokyo?

Not sure why they would ask that. We have several from SA online and some in the training. The contract is to commute to wherever you want to tell them. If an agency is not wanting to let you commute to your home then you need to go through a different agency.

Hi chaps,
Just saw that ANA Cargo is about to receive two B777 freighters during 2019. How will this impact, if it will, the AJX contract and what are the chances of flying it as well? Any inside rumours?

Best,
BF

It will not affect us as it is going to be flown by mainline pilots. We are strictly 767 and 787. I would love to fly the 777 but it just aint gonna happen.

Thanks jrmyl!
Makes sense. But, never say never, perhaps in a distance future (considering the 777 and the 787 share the same type rating).

In the rest of the world they share the same type rating. Not in Japan, at least that I am aware of. They do them separately.

This actually protects you, it might be cool to fly both types but my friends who do that are used much more than if it was 787 only.
I think even say A320 and 321 are different types, and to be honest with all the modifications and versions the manufacturer keeps doing so it should be.
When you have a problem and land overweight because you were thinking other 3 MLWs it’s actually not so nice.

When AirDo introduced the -700NG there had to be two pilot groups, -500 and -700NG
No commonality allowed according to JCAB, no idea if thinking has modified over the years.

Would suggest hoping commonality of B777/787 per JCAB a big ask.

Cheers.

777&787

Japanese CAB has changed their policy recently.

Thanks for the link.
It says they will have a massive shortage of pilots by 2030, this can only be good news for JCAB licence holders

Guys please could you tell me how the staff tickets concessions work with ANA mainline?

I mean an update on how well do they work and can you get business class zed tickets?

They work well. You book the ticket through the MyIDTravel website and the ticket is issued instantly. Like anywhere you'll need to check the loads and be a bit sensible of where you're travelling and when. Yes, you can get business class ZED tickets on ANA.

Sorry for the OT, a lot of Japanese companies seem not to be approved fot CAT2/3 ops. Is this something to do with the JCAB, is it quite standard in Japan?
