RE: Contact Lens Thread

Sounds likes you are wearing your contacts backwards. I started wearing contacts when I was 14 and I am 32. I just never liked the feel of glasses and when I am flying. I am going for the PRK option later this year. (I am on the waitlist) It's free since the Navy will be doing the procedure. I have ...

RE: Airlines Policy On Hiring Foreign Pilots?

Problem with the jobs with the Chinese carrier is that you are responsible in getting that A320, 777, or 747 type rating unlike if you get a job with Atlas Air. I hear a 777 type rating out of pocket expense is no joke. But the pay out there I'm hearing is very good.

In Japan, it's difficult and costly. An American would have to convert his FAA certifications to JAA/ICAO certfications. If you know the right people via networking, it's possible.

RE: Expats, What Do You Miss From Home?

I miss the interstate driving in the US where you don't have to pay a $60 toll when you drive 200 miles one way going 80 km/hr. I can deal with traffic in Tokyo, where I cannot deal with the traffic and rudeness of the people in DC and NYC. 'Nuff said.
