ABX Japan Domicile

[ABXbooger]

Mgmt. is at it again, this time they came with some ammo...wanted to see what the general opinion is on the offer and maybe get some other carriers involved.

For the other carriers, if you are able to bid to a foreign (asian) domicile, what does your company offer you to go there?
-housing allowance
-moving
-schooling
-any lump sum
-etc

Agreed booger,

If there are any Mesa guys out there, what is the China gig like and what are the benies / perks they are offering you.

just did a quick search online...

housing can run from 400,000 yen a month to 1200000...doing the math at an average of 800,000 that is a monthly RENTAL payment of $6940!!!!!!!!!!! The company is chipping in 3k a month...

Now, some of you guys might pay a mortgage of $3900 a month, BUT THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be in contact with FedEX ALPA on this.

you will have a flashmail and a hard copy coming out tomorrow on the costs associated with Japan...basically it works out that you would have to be a 9 FO with less than three years to break even as a 767 capt in Osaka...check your flashmail for Ross' answer to Morgenfeld
