I have been flying 121 for 6 years,all domestic routes.I'm half way through traing for a japanese contract and i get pulled out of class for not having a radio license for two years.this company wants me to get a certificate from the faa showing my radio experience.Does anyone have any idea what form this is?

Go to this site http://wireless.fcc.gov/commoperators/lpe.html and get your "Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit". It cost about $50 when I did it. Not sure what the fee is now. No test or requirements, just another boondogle to remove more cash from your pocket.

They actually pulled you from class for that and didn't even bother to tell you how to go about getting one? Might want to rethink working for whatever lame operation that is!

Starflyer does not hire non Japanese nationals into the right seat. Only the left seat is available to foreigners, and at that even very few positions. The rest you listed do. Also do not forgett JalWays. They have primarily foreign crew.

I am a Japanese citizen, and I talked with Starflyer recruitment several months ago. Only Japanese born and educated citizens are to be recruited for FO slots. The Japanese educated part is the requirement that screwed me. I hope it changes in the future.

Blade..i was in class with about ten starflyer guys.6 weeks on two weeks off if you commute otherwise 9 days off and $7400 if you live in Nippon.Half of the captain were from eastern europe and were having lots of problems.Right now each pilot has to do a route check for every segment and every pc with jcab.anyway I think your time will come.
