* Japan Airlines is the largest airline outside the United States.
* Japan Airlines has NEVER laid off a pilot (yes – this includes 9-11 and the SARS epidemic).
* Captain Upgrades are now occurring after two (2) years on the line.
* A 5-year captain for JALways makes more than a 12-year wide-body captain for UAL.

If invited for an interview, WASINC will provide - at no cost to you -confirmed space travel to/from DEN, Lodging, one (1) SIM training session and one (1) SIM evaluation session.
The training commitment is for $30K not $25K. The pay has changed and will go up again in April. You are paid a 60 hr min during training now and that is to keep it in line with the other contract pilot suppliers like HACS. They do let you fly as Capt and currently it takes appx 3yrs after training if the nationals think you can handle it. They do not mix crews. Meaning they have JAL crews and JALWays crews and there is no mixing of crews. i.e. Japanese capt/ WASINC F/O. You will get to fly with other contract capt's as F/O.
Bye Bye--General Lee
