Worth It?
Any current Air Japan Pilots:
I am about to make the jump from military flying to the civilian world and am hoping will have many options to weigh. Been stationed in Japan, flying for nearly 4 1/2 years. My family and I love Japan and would make it our long term home if it makes sense. My questions are these; 1) Can I opt to not commute and live in Japan with a sponsored VISA? Will I be compensated in any way for not taking the commuting money/flights? 2) Maybe more importantly, I am very competitive for direct hire into any American major airline. I value quality of life and being paid well for a valuable skill set. Is this worth it if I could get hired directly by Delta/American/United?
