Oops - I meant 'they' to refer to JET - sorry. I'm going too fast when I write these things. So, is my faded memory right when I think I recall that JET starts around 350K, and Geos/Nova etc. offered only minimum salary at 250K?

That's pretty much right. When NETs complain, it's usually workload not money.
And yes, the application process is long-winded. For me - I was in Hong Kong teaching anyway throughout the application process, so there was no urgency. From start to finish it took over a year.
Now I'm in the job, I've got nice kids and nice colleagues to work with. All good so far... |

JETs make 300K/mo. but get other goodies that most FTs in Japan don't get.
The market has gone to such rat**** in the last decade that many non-JET employers are offering less than 250K. In some cases, considerably less. And yet there seems to be no shortage of barbarians willing to take such contracts. Incredible, really. |

I find it incredible that you are working as an EdB NET but do not know what the current special allowance is.  |

Well you got me... I suppose I should have checked but I just said from (my obviously poor) memory. Go on, tell me, I have a lot of paper shuffling to do to find out for myself.
I often find it incredible that I'm working as an EdB NET too.  |

Paper shuffling? 
You may well be the only person in the NET Scheme that isn't aware of their pay package. Not my business, of course, but I find it odd.

Hi SF, if I may assume you're lighthearted winding me up  ... I know what I get each month in total. I forgot the division of salary/allowance, since salary went up a couple of times and allowance once. That's all. It's written down somewhere - I just couldn't really be bothered to check.
If I am losing credibilty with you, then my humblest apologies and another smiley face 
If you're implying that I may not really be a NET because I can't remember the money, then I take back the smiley faces |

I'm just being a troll  I don't receive a pay stub, so I must constantly check the school's calculations. |

Disgraceful behaviour it is too...

Me neither. I just got my gratuity calculated today and was asked to confirm it's right. I didn't have a clue, but the final figure certainly gave me a smiley face. Did give me the opportunity to see that the special allowance is 14.something. See? I've forgotten the detail already. |
