    Tommy,

    I understand your frustrations you are caught in the middle of a bad economy. You have plenty of experience for the US regional airlines but you lack the ability to work in the States. I would focus on finding out how you can get a Green Card or a Visa to work in the US. You may also want to try Canada. Once you have more time in a regional under your belt you can then get hired by a major and fly your B747. The corporate route could help you build up time as well but you generally build up time slower and again you lack the ability to work in the US legally. Since you can't convert you FAA ATP to Japan why not sit down and take the Japanese ATP and try and find work with you current hours?



    Thank you very much for your suggestions.
    I think I'm still on the right track, but need extra actions to break this situation.
    I talked with JCAB(kind of FAA in Japan), and they said converting FAA ATP to Japan may possible if I am typed and have several hours in type.
    They also told me that I have to have PVT first with just take written exam, but I have to do COM and IFR all over again!!
    It seems it cost $100K, canyou believe it!!!!

    I won't give up my career, but not in Japan.

    Again, thank you so much for your advice!
