Parc and HACS. The feeling here is HACS are doing a better job of managing their pilots, although Parc have a higher proportion of guys on this conract.
As you are not going to be based in HNL (or Ireland for that matter) you don't need to worry about US immigration details. It is a commuting contract (to Japan) from wherever you choose to live, although the preference in the past has been for guys living in Australia or New Zealand, which is where the majority of guys still go home to.

Could be for both fleets, although I have not heard about the HACS hold pool. ANA are looking at a LCC using 737s, so perhaps HACS and PARC have been asked to gather names for both sub-airlines (AJX and ANA LCC). It does seem that the new 737 operation that has been publisized in the local papers up here will probably not be part of Air Japan, but will be using cheaper pilots (foreign?) than the ANA workforce - 50% less was the rate quoted in the Japanese press.

Thanks Verticleroll....I was just curious, as ANA has 45 -700's coming in 2005....and HACS is starting a pool for B767/737 drivers for an ''extablished Asian carrier'' .
Cheers

Wow a 4 year long thread and still going.
Was wondering if there is any word on the commuting part.
Do they offer a version that allows for guys to live in Japan.
You won't need a hotel room when at base, so do they give that money to you, or is it commuting only and thats that.
Recieved the app. from HACS today and commuting across
the entire Pacific twice a month not very attractive.
Would like to live in country if they allow it. Are there any guys out there on this contract that can offer some insite as to what is or is not possible.

LOL,
I was thinking the same thing!! I have an up to date package from PARC but was wondering if anyone has a package from another agency?
The pay seems OK because you don't have taxes taken out but I'm wondering if 10 consecutive days off is going to enable me to stay married if I have to commute to the states.
Any thought would be appreciated.
