You might consider IFTA in BFL

www.ifta.aero

All Nippon Airways (ANA) runs the school to train their new hires.
After 18 months at IFTA and 8 months in Tokyo the trainees go to the right seat of the 767. Its a "clone" of the Lufthansa school in Goodyear and is owned by

they pay well, will train you and offer better benefits than most companies.

the aircraft are maintained very well by a dedicated beechcraft mx shop on site.

you'll fly about 700-800 h a year.

Downside is that you'll be doing more talkin than flying.
You'll also need to be armed with patience because of language barriers and the fact that while you are teaching the guy across the table from scratch, he'll be flying the 767 2 years from now...

you will have excellent instrument skills.
you'll have better crm and crew skills than most other regional applicants.

if you can make it at ifta you'll be more than well prepared for a 121 job and you'll have the pic and multi time.

PM me if you have any questions

Cheers
George
