XX years upgrade as in over 10?
I don't work for NCA mind you, but I do put a lot of overtime drinking with them hoodlums

for what I understand, the upgrade at NCA will come at the second contract, 5 year mark. But I would like one of the NCA guys to verify the information....!
I was under the impression it shouldn't be a big deal with the business class or $2000 allowance. Just wondering why they have that listed like this since it seems to be covered.
Because it is Japan...! All the boxes must be marked...! LOL!
On a serious note. Yes, they will get you a confirmed business class ticket anywhere in the world but to be honest, anything over two sectors is just impractical, they have had experiences with guys living in remote places like some island in Greece, where they needed 4 sectors to get to work and home, that was just plain crazy, lots of miss connections and the likes. That is what they mean with that statement. Two pilots with the same résumé, one commuting from San Fran, JFK, HNL, Amsterdam for example ( a direct flight, one sector on ANA) and another living in let's say, La Patagonia in Argentina, they logically would be interested (with all things considered) in the guy that would be easier to get to work and take back home, the guy that lives in La Patagonia will be in two sectors before he can even connect to the flight on ANA that will take him/her to Narita..., And I can assure you that it has nothing to do with cost and all to do with lesser possibilities of a miss connect to get to work.
Make sense......?
