I lived and flew in Japan for 14 years and get ready for a culture shock and I mean that in a good way. The Japanese leave nothing for chance and leave nothing to chance and go out of their way to make things perfect. It is in their DNA. When our contract ended the wife and I hated to leave. One tip, stay away from Negishi and the Gaijin living areas. Enjoy the culture, get a copy of the Hiragana and Katakana alphabet, there are 42 on each and easy to learn. Note, there are 3 alphabets and Kanji really hard to learn, if not impossible. Learning some language would be a big help, Even a little will go a long way with the Japanese. We lived in Zushi and at first, the only Gaijns in the town. Best move we ever made. Enjoy, you will not regret it.

Hi everyone, I’m a CA at a regional in the US , currently .
I will soon need to commute from South America , and my current schedule won’t allow that .
Looking into the 74’s 17/13 schedule , is this type of commute realistic ?
Also, I know the upgrade on the 73 is faster than the rest of the fleet , how’s the 73 schedule ? How many legs do you guys do per day, either on the 74 or 73?
Thanks so much for the info .

73 or 76 schedule is one or two legs a day. High probability of 2 or 3 blocks in a 30 day period, complicating your commute.
Look up GTI or 5Y flights on FlightRadar24 to get an idea of the routes, especially those in SA.
Wide body FO will likely pay about as much or more than a bottom of the list 73 CA.

We have quite a few who live in South America and make the commute work.
Skip the 737, it doesn't work for you, and you make more as 747 FO than as a regular 737 CA.

I am showing an EZE flight once every 5 or 6 days... to SCL. Things change. You can always grab a cabin Jump Seat or just use miles. Or bid Secondary and hope to begin with a DH to SA. Not the most difficult location to commute from that I have heard of, but creativity and patience will be required.
