Been considering AJX for a while now, but feel like I may look back and resent ny decision for leaving so hastily as I'm at a regional with a flow to AA now. I would estimate that flow to be 3-5 years barring any catastrophic downturn and I am about to turn 30. Would you all recommend AJX for someone in my position, or do you think it would be wiser to be patient and wait to flow?
TIA
Wait for flow. No question.
Pay in Japan has actually been decreasing, which blows my mind. The AJX contract is very good, definitely the best in Japan, but it is still a contract job. Having worked a Japanese contract job, I can tell you that every person there says the same thing, "Nothing beats working a legacy job in your own country." Those words were literally told to me by the chief pilot.
Take that for what it's worth.
