Bring a soft mattress cover/pad. The beds are super hard. Also Apple TV is a must. Don't stress and start freaking out like most do. It sure is intimidating when they put 50 manuals and books in front of you on the first day, but trust me you have 6 months to go through most of them and in general you will know or be told where to go. Just go with the flow and remember to take beer brakes and regroup otherwise you'll burn yourself out really fast. They need pilots and want you to succeed and remember if you have any issues or problems don't be shy to ask for help or advice before it's too late. This is an excellent group of pilots and the management team is fair. We've all been thought the process. It's no rocket science, just be respectful and understanding and you will go very far with the Japanese and this company. Good luck !!!
