BETHESDA: Forget the polls, ditch the data and stop sending journalists to swing-state diners to interview undecided voters: historian Allan Lichtman already knows who is going to win the US presidential election.
As record tourists flock to Japan for its world-renowned hospitality, exceptional sushi and ancient shrines, the country’s airlines are facing a severe shortage of pilots. And finding them won’t be easy.
“Major airlines will have to revise their internal operational processes to accommodate non-Japanese speaking pilots,” said Nobuhito Abe, a partner and the Asia Pacific lead of aerospace and industrials at Kearney. Japanese carriers still have “very domestic internal processes”. Representatives from All Nippon Airways Crew Association and JAL Flight Crew Union didn’t respond to requests for comment.JAL has around 2,000 pilots and a “few” non-Japanese ones, according to a spokesperson. ANA meanwhile has about 2,400 pilots and hardly any outsiders, other people said.
JAL said it is “currently hiring contract- based foreign pilots to deal with the 2030 problem as a temporary solution and not as a permanent measure. Basically, we’ll continue employing pilot trainees that are hired as fresh graduates as permanent employees”.With no clear solution in sight and tourist arrival numbers hitting fresh highs monthly, the expert panel set up by the transport ministry is also considering ways to encourage captains to work after they turn 65.
