ANA JP Express or Air Japan??
#1591
Hey sir, how do you feel about younger pilots going to AJX now, with all of the furloughs and Coronavirus stuff going on? I've recently gotten an email stating that I was "short listed." Thanks so much for all of your help in this thread. There are not many sources of specific information out there.
I'm not sure if AJX is going to be doing any hiring for a while. We don't have enough flying right now to finish people who are currently in training.

Also as jrmyl mentioned, the contract is gone and if they ever recall (and this is a big if) it will be a very different contract and company than the one we worked for. A few of us have gotten lucky and got jobs in the US but many of our friends are still looking.
Good luck to everyone on these difficult times...

We had gone through so many situations where I thought the contract was going away, the world economy collapse of 08, Swine Flu. SARS, the JAL bankruptcy and of course the earthquake/Tsunami/Fukushima trifecta and although things got dicey, ANA always assured us that AJX was forging forward. This time I really didn't think much of Covid quite frankly but it certainly was disastrous for the market in Japan.

Yeah, As I said some of us have been fortunate enough to find gigs back home and those that haven't are actively applying to those gigs you mentioned. But that doesn't help about 70% of Air Japan pilots since they don't have the "right of work" in the US. Tough times no doubt
