Thanks ! I'll look into . When people say apartment costs are high in Hong Kong, what would that be? Also how speedy is Japan?

Code:
Air Asia had been an option in the past, not sure if they have stopped hiring or not.

Air Asia has stopped hiring DEC for the time being. Tiger Airways in Singapore is still hiring.

The only area of HK I am familiar with is Causeway Bay, Belcher Bay, Wan Chai, which is all close to Victoria Peak, but you are looking at $1500 per month for a nice place, but small. 350sq ft. They can be had for less, but you probably would not want to live there. Think downtown New York City type pricing. Last time I checked, Craigslist has a LOT of listings.

Thanks, I believe tax rate is 15%. Sounds like a good deal

Default Any latest news, new hire?

Hello,

So how competetive, total time wise, is it to get in with Jetstar Japan? I'm currently an rj pilot with about 3800 mostly fo time. No 121pic.

Thank you

Guys, Nippon Cargo is hiring via HACS and Parc. One of the best jobs I've ever had, I'd still be there had my company not called me back off furlough. I hear anyone hired from now on is gonna be paid less than everybody else already on line. Conditions have deteriorated from when NCA was a highly paid "flying club" but I'd say it's still a great gig. PM me if you want some more details.

3,000+ total hours
150 hours on B747-400
250+ total PIC hours on any aircraft type
500+ total multi-crew commercial jet time
Valid ICAO/JCAB ATPL with current B747-400 type rating (JCAB ATPL & B747-400 rating preferred)
Valid Class 1 Medical
ICAO English Proficiency Level 4

This is correct....there are thousands of highly experienced legacy pilots with 757/767 time who would be interested in this gig but the 747 req. eliminates them. I have talked to HACS and they say sorry no can do....
