Sorry, never meant to imply you were wrong. There just seemed to be a lot of confusion as to what actually happens when you immigrate here, or get citizenship in another country.

As a person engaged to a foreigner I have been doing a ton of research on this subject recently, both with the option of her immigrating here, or me immigrating to Europe. Thought I'd throw some clarification on the subject out there for those who might be weighing options.

 

Good call! Once you start getting into that kinda stuff it becomes apparent how hard they actually make it right?

It's especially saddening when you see the difference of how hard it is based on where the person is from as far as getting a visa, or citizenship even...

Oh well, my battle for now is over!

embraer,

Dude based on this piece of information I'd say you need to to get your facts straight, there are a TON of expat pilots flying contract in Japan.

 

Let me enlighten you sir. After having spent a career in law enforcement, I can tell you that unless there is probable cause that supports that a criminal act has been committed, in the USA, you cannot "hold" someone. If a similar event had been in the US, it would have been investigated as an accident, not a criminal act unless there was clear evidence that it was an intentional action. Therefore, as per our constitution, within a reasonable time, i.e. hours, not days one cannot be, as you put it "held" without cause. There is a HUGE difference and a line between and investigative detention and an arrest. Detentions do not last for days. You might condiser looking up the more complete definition of reasonable suspicion, probable cause, investigative detention, and arrest. That would help clear up your apparent misunderstanding of what it takes here in the US to "hold" someone. I hope that this clears up any confusion on the part of any other readers on this forum.

 

This is not true,Seniority is important,you would be put on the end of the line,and in this case A320/19 first officer.

 

Tam has at least 2400 pilots.

 

1500 total hours

This is before tax (35% month),and flying A330 international flights.

 

Wait wait wait...gas is $19.25 a gallon and a Honda is $140K?

Not saying you're wrong, seems like you definitely know the situation down there, I'm just trying to figure out if something got lost in translation or if things are really that ridiculously overpriced.
