Anybody got the scoop on ANA, besides going through one of the contract services?

Well, do you want info on Air Japan or Air Japan Cargo (the new ANA cargo division)?

Who is Air Japan? Isn't ANA short for All Nippon Airways? Are you thinking of Japan Airlines?

All Nippon Airways, but what about Air Japan Cargo?

No foreign pilots at ANA.

I teach at ANA flight school in BFL. You are correct... no foreigers.

Could you tell us what the deal is with ANA pilots and the white gloves?

Sounds like Japanese taxi drivers. They wear white gloves when working.

They must also wear parachute pants, have a pet monkey, and hang out with little boys. I think its a sign of mental stability.

So, yea, that's all great stuff; any good, factual information on AJX/ANA/NCA would be great too. These places must breed cryptic advice. I made my way to the hangout, the Barge Inn, last time I was in NRT and asked an NCA guy about getting hired there and he kept telling me 5000 hours and a twelve inch %@$#. Funny guy, bought a few rounds, but no further to the facts was I.

Actually, the contracting agencies web site is excellent, and pay and benifits on it is in line with what the lads said. They were all pretty happy with the contract; the ANA group and the NCA side both.
