@razorblade...., the price of the apartments vary from the distance related to the train station..., apartment living by yourself will be a little more than the hotel, but it is a LOT more comfortable..., to give you an example I live about 8 minutes walk from the station and I pay ¥70,000 per month and about 12,000 more between utilities and internet...., if you share with another pilot it would be a lot cheaper of course, there are a lot of options for apartments actually.

There is a story going around in training that someone went skiing on one of their "blank" days (in between flights at NRT), broke his leg skiing and was fired for being outside the area. Is this true and what is the rule on this?

Also, my understanding is this person had previous issues with the company and this was the final issue that led to his termination. You have to work really hard to be terminated by the company. We have had some guys in the past that I was amazed they were still employed by the company with all the crap they have pulled.
As Dom said, if you have any plans do go outside the Tokyo area then just come in on your passport and there will not be any issues.

Thanks guys for clarifying. I'm in training now and you know how stuff gets passed around. I was surprised that during orientation we weren't given a company policy book with the rules to follow (in the US it would also contain things like sexual harassment, etc.). Maybe this comes later during line training?
What about medical issues? I don't have any, but it has to be a concern for everyone as they age. Is the company and medical (special issuance, etc.) similar or tougher than what you'd find elsewhere (I'm referring to countries like the US and not places like China)?

Don't worry about any of that nonsense and make sure you disconnect from training mode often to have a cold one!
