[Heavy Set]

Just got back from Tokyo. Had a good time. Was told I was successful. Just waiting on the medical results.

Day one- Medical 4.5 hours

Day two- Written test, MMPI, Board Interview and SIM.

Seems to be a change in the Board Interview. Have read and been told pretty light on the technical side. Not the case anymore. A good 15 minutes on , turbulence, de-icing procedures, Jepp Charts, ICAO holding procedures, RVSM, Class B, G, D airspace.

Well, did you get hired there or not??

Can you give me an idea where you fly your 767s? Just curious about destinations.

AJX flies to HNL, CAN (Guangzhou), HKG, DLC (Dalian), PVG (Shanghai), and TPE (Taipei). We did fly to Singapore, which was our best overnight by far, but we dropped it aparently because we dont have enough pilots. Our only overnights are HNL, TPE, and HKG. All mainland China flying is return flights.

Has anyone attended a "crew resources worldwide" job fair this past month? Any highlights? I am attending the one tomorrow in Chicago!

I have all the published requirements for "FO" position, however, I am worried being short of 1000 hr PIC turbine will not attract any interview potential. Similar to the recruiting events that Emirates and Etihad held but only took resumes with heavy jet experience.

Thanks

How many days off do you get in a row? Is there a delivery schedule for more planes?

You will get 10 days off in a row unless you request otherwise.

There are 9 more 767s coming through 2011 due to the 787 being delayed. After that, who knows. The 767s are eventually being replaced by 787s.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear it.

Does the 60 month commitment for the AJX/AJV contract include the time spent in training or does that ‘clock’ start ticking once training is completed?

 

[d328pilot]

Your contract time starts from the day you show up to ground school. 5 years including training.

I agree - that seriously sucks. I hope you find something that works soon. Your flight experience is phenomenal.

It sounds like you get an astronaut physical from the Japanese, and then in ground school you memorize where every circuit breaker is. I would still apply if I met the minimums but seems like a tough way to earn a buck.

hello,

Would you be able to pass their medical if you have must wear corrective lens on your FAA medical.
I wear glasses when i fly but it is a very mild condition and it is the only time i wear them.

Thanks for any help, dont want to start the whole application if there is no chance of passing their medical.
