The information was given to me by one of the original skippers that is still here and what he said was that those that wanted to stay remained but it could be that it was through this company? that I don't know.

Our existence here depends a great deal on the 787 program and the delivery schedule of the 777's we expect that due to the availability of slots with the expansion of HND and NRT then ANA will continue their expansion plans in the international market (their is very little domestic growth on the horizon) and with the expected growth and attrition that remains in deficit with their local hiring levels then they will not only keep the foreign pilots but will in fact have to increase the numbers, which is why they keep hiring although our block hours have been reduced after the economical downturn. Now if the 787 program goes bust and the world economy hits a double dip!! then they will have enough local man power to sustain their current fleet numbers and we are gone bye bye, we shall see but I'm not dusting the resume just yet
