- 18 commuting + 19-20 Leave + 21-30 Jan off + 31 Jan Commuting day + 1 Feb Commuting + 2-11 Feb Off + 12-13 Feb Leave + 14 Feb Commuting day |
as far as commuting days go, I have heard of cases where, if the pilot takes days off in such a way that they do not work during a calendar month, then they do not get commute days for the month, eg if one takes 5 weeks off over a calendar. Not seen official policy but have heard this happening on the odd occasion.

Obviously every situation is unique but any further info on why some of the guys didn't get through? or was it the usual suspects of not studying enough or making a name for themselves with the trainers.

Also the upgrade is far from a given! We have folks that have been turned down for stupid reasons! Do people make it? Sure! Do some folks fail because they didn't put in the work? Sure! Do some of the checkers hate their lives because they were sent here from mainline against their will so they want to make sure you hate yours? Absolutely!
This is NOT something new, so don't act surprised. |
I wouldn't say it's a lottery.
In my experience a pilot who comes here with the attitude he/she knows everything and is going to teach the Japanese a thing or two about aviation will have major problems. A pilot who comes here and accepts from day one that it's their airline, their rules and procedures (no matter how silly they seem), that they're in a foreign country and puts in a reasonable effort will generally succeed. ATTITUDE is more important than anything else in Japan, no matter what you're doing. |
It’s not a lottery. Statistics are not not an accurate measurement, there are pilots that come here that have 99.9% prospect of passing and there are other with less than 50%. If you have struggled through your career with checks and retraining, give it some serious thought, but otherwise, it’s quite achievable. You don’t have a checker terminating training with impunity, they put a lot of thought into it, essentially they’re trying to get you through. Based on the number of pilots that we have, my guess is about 1% contribute to this forum, so it’s hard to get the full picture that is not colored by personal agendas. I suggest using your own professional network to locate a crew member that is here to get an accurate impression. |
Travel Policy

What's the ZED travel like here (e.g spouse/family/nominated, number of tickets)?
Also, if let's say I'm a resident of country A, but would like to commute from Country B to take advantage of lower cost of living, is that an option (for the C ticket). Hi Gents, Anyone to answer that one? 1.Are those ZED restricted to the pilot or is the family able to enjoy it? 2. On other Star alliances flights aswell? Thank you Xavier |

Honestly, the amount of patience required to fly here is beyond what most western pilots would ever imagine, so if anyone are having these kind of concerns and know little about the country I advice to think twice. |
Xavier,
1.Are those ZED restricted to the pilot or is the family able to enjoy it? It is the pilot and his 'eligible dependants'. They are spouse, children (unmarried and < 18 or unmarried, < 21 and in full-time education) and others as authorised by AJX. It normally does not include parents and 'nominated' people but, obviously, they MAY be authorised by AJX if there is a good reason. 2. On other Star alliances flights as well? Yes, Star Alliance and other IATA airlines with whom AJX has an Interline agreement. |

Yourself and the Dominican should get paid for the good job ;-) Last question if I may: I hold a JCAB licence. How long would the process (training) take before starting the line training? |
X-man,
Same as always. count on 4 month in Tokyo and 2 month of line training. Even with a JCAB license nothing changes much. Regards Heavydane |

So it seems no taxes paid at all in Japan, so you can/will be taxed at your country of residence, correct?
