If you read his first post, he's not working as a CFI in the USA. That was the whole point of the thread.
Congratz on the job in Japan, Airman1985. After reading about the state of GA in Japan, it sounds like you are lucky to find a CFI job there.
It's crazy how high the standard is to be a pilot in Japan, and yet they let me fly a 767 into Narita from ANC with no more training than a company route check from LA to Honolulu. I know I pissed off the NRT controllers last time I was there. Why can't they just speak better english? haha.
