Hey guys! Thanks to everybody providing this valuable information. Very much appreciated indeed. I am very interested in this particular opportunity and your input has provided a great feedback. I sent all the documents for an FO position to Parc and Crew Resources Worldwide about three weeks ago, but haven't heard anything yet. How long does it usually take them to get back to you?
My understanding is that they are getting a lot of applications, especially from the USA.. (Which is great in my opinion)
I would recommend that you call PARC in Ireland, and ask them to check on the status of your application.. It never hurts to push the matter a bit.. PARC has always been good (to me) about getting back to people, and getting the ball rolling...
If you want to PM me, and give me a bit of info about your background, and contact info, I can put a bug in their ear too..
Goodluck.. The process is a bit out of control, but the job is good once the BS ends!!

Hey EK Birdcage! Thanks a lot! I will try to call PARC and talk to Catherine McCaul. She was a recruiter that sent me applications. Unfortunately, I can't PM you yet because of the forum's policy only to allow PM feature to those who made more than 25 posts. Can you PM me with your email or some other contact information? Appreciate your help. Later

Gents,
I'm getting tossed into this journey as well...it sounds like a really good gig! Initial screen is okay and a tentative interview on the 24th in Japan....
Just got the packet in the mail regarding the profiles and sim, etc.
Question:
1. Interview - Examples of the technical questions please? That stuff freaks me out and I would love to focus on what to study please?
CReW is saying they pay for everything for the 4 day evolution or however long it is...anybody have any problems or surprise out of pocket issues?
2. Was the medical as freaky as I am hearing? Dream evaluation and getting fully wired up is some of the stuff I've heard. Seriously...how crazy is it? Heard cholesterol is a big deal and forget about it if you have LASIC. I don't have LASIC issues, but who the heck knows about the other stuff. I'm just gonna try to surf this wave and hope I get off okay.
Thanks in advance for your info gents.
Cheers...

Cloudsailor,
Just did a little digging as I am going with CReW but was contacted by PARC and IAC as well after the fact.
Seems like everyone is about the same. PARC's answer as to why they're on top is because they have a PARC rep in Tokyo for you...which is probably good since the company is in Ireland..right?
IAC is somewhere else too. That was the only thing Ms. McCaul told me that was different from CReW. I asker her poing blank before going with CReW because, like all of us, I want the best gig going. She had nothing else to offer, I was working with Alan Ito with CReW first, and out of my personal rationale, I stayed with CReW.
CReW is an american company that seems to be very close to the whole ANA program...I liked them best because they seem to be in the know a bit mo' better for us US types that are thinking about doing the contract thing abroad.
Medical is ETNA Global, which I personally like. No cost to us and it takes care of the whole family no matter where you are with small co pay.
Hope that helps a bit...sorry if I rambled.

Kemo,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it sounds pretty much like what I've been hearing, all of those companies are very similar. Your rationale to go with CReW makes sense.
So, any idea if there's a training bond with CReW or ANA, once hired? What did they say about possible upgrades during the duration of the contract?
Good luck with the interview.

Hey F5KemoLoco,
Congrats man and best of luck to you on the interview! Wanted to ask you the same question that I posted in this thread earlier. How long did it take these agencies to get back to you with the package and an interview date since you submitted an application? I spoke with Ms. McCaul from Parc a little while ago, and she said that she forwarded my paperwork to Japan on July 22nd but still no word. Just was wondering if it was a normal span of time for something like that.
