Does anybody know about the contract flying done by Hawaii Aviation on behalf of Nippon Cargo and JAL.

Specifically I couldn't find anything about pay scales, duration of contract and basing requirements, quality of life/days off.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

If I could figure out how to get the PM function to work I would send you something. I was PM'ing with a couple guys from pprune.com that are on the PARC contract. They gave me some good insight on the NCA job. It's not TOO much different from the HACS contract.

Just curious, are you GAC? Throw an e-mail and I'll send you what I have.

I think I fixed up my profile so I can get pm's

Nope, still says you can't recieve pm's. You use any other message boards? I might be able to send it to you there. Or, like I said, put up and e-mail.

Lot's of good information about JAL, HACS, WASINC, JALWAYS, IASCO and ANA and general contract flying in Japan on a tread a few months ago "Southern Air or Contract Flying" in the Cargo section. Got a bit nut's on the tread, fun reading and informative.

Vegas,
I have some info on NCA and JALways that I received from HAC last fall when I was applying there. I'll post it here shortly.

...also, thanks for the MD-11 links on the other thread. Great stuff! I'd PM you but there is a 25 post minimum for that privilege.

20 to go, just keep posting dots or something.

Did HACS call you? I know a few guys that appllied with the time requirements but haven't received any calls.

Yes, HACS called me for a couple of phone interviews last summer/fall for the JALways position. The next step was an interview and sim in Denver. I didn't go to the interview/sim and within a couple weeks afterward, I was contacted about the NCA job. If only UPS and Fedex contacted me as often!

I had over 5000 total time and 1000PIC in an RJ. No heavy-jet time.

Hey Dog, who do you fly for?

Flaps, EVA Air

Vegas, interesting aircraft flown list. who did you used to fly for? And here's the HACS info!
