First few trips would be exciting, hoping to see the city. Are the layovers more than 2-3 Days?

Do you mean see the city of Tokyo? If so, the hotel is at least 90 min by train from central Tokyo and there isn't a whole lot to see in the town of Narita.

Unfortunately- this isn't mainline- laying over in DT Tokyo. You're at least 1.5 hours away via train

Hey hey hey!
Plenty to see in Narita! The Cage?! Barge Inn!?

Honestly, to each their own, but I really like Narita. The rice fields surrounding the city are amazing for running. There are a few really good coffee shops. Several places I enjoy to eat at. Whisky is insanely cheap. The Temple is actually a very nice place to spend time. It's not Tokyo... and for that, I am thankful. However, if Tokyo is your jam, you can take the fast train direct to Shinjuku with a passport for like 1500Yen. There is a bus that comes back to all the hotels in Narita for 1000Yen.

Get used to it. Any new hires should expect to get engaged with regular conversations about where you have apps and how bad do you want to GTFO of here.

Guess you don't want to hear the truth?

The excitement will wear off in a couple of years, and then the reality of how underpaid and poorly treated you are will become clear. You will see your peers at other airlines exceeding your income by leaps and bounds as you slave away on the back side of the clock only to DH in a middle seat on Alaska on your 15:45 hour duty day...

I don't think he offered you any advice. He was simply stating his preference of the location of our layover hotel when we fly into Tokyo Narita International airport. While there are some decent restaurants and what not in Narita, my preference would be to stay in Tokyo, or to at least hang out there. I've taken the train into Tokyo many times. That's just my opinion and everyone has one.

As far as it getting old about hearing how bad it sucks.... if you don't work here yet, ask yourself why you are always hearing about how bad it sucks and if you know what you are going to be getting yourself into. If you do work here, just give it a little more time and you'll see for yourself.
