IASCO is kind of an enigma. They keep a relatively low profile and seem to specialize in the Japanese market. I think one of the JALways 747 drivers ( the Captain ) I ran into in Brisbane last year had been on an IASCO contract for over 10 years. He was American, as was the furloughed USAirways F.O. who was on a WAS contract. For what it's worth IASCO contacted me in 1997 for a 5 year contract in Fukouko ( sp? ) on the MD-80 and I'm American. Still not sure how they got my name, but they called me at my house in Taiwan

I'd be really surprised if they only had non-Americans on their payroll, but I could be wrong.
