The direct and simple response is awesome. Thank you. That’s what I was assuming. Just got a bit of the old wanderlust I suppose.

If you like Japan then take a vacation there.

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?
I realize that it has been a while since you posted this but I hope it gets to you before you make a mistake! This job is ok (And I do mean just OK) in times of furlough or a bad job market, right now this is not the case.
If living in Japan is your goal, I recommend that you target United and then bid for the trips they have out of
Narita, as I understand from pilots that regularly bid those trips is that they can get them regularly so you can work at a normal airline and still spend the majority of your time here.

Air Japan is NOT a career choice in today's market.

A spouse can do what they want as long as they leave every 90 days or have a visa to live here. You will not have a visa from the company.
