If you are looking at working in Japan, take a look at the ANA contracts. I believe the pay is better and the working environment is much better. We have had guys come over here from the "red team" and say that it is like night and day.

Commuting over on the ANA contracts is you either get $2000 cash and buy your own ticket / use ZEDs or they company buys you a confirmed business class seat.

We have had more than a few JALways guys come over to our side, and all have said they are much happier here.
