Nice reporting, but it would be more compelling if you started with spelling the program's name correctly: it's the JET Programme
Also, you're on point about the free trip to and from Japan as being wasteful spending, but your comparison of ALTs' salaries to JTEs' is completely ignoring the fact that JTEs get massive bonuses twice a year, putting them well above the ALT's salary (depending on prefecture, I believe). And for Americans, who historically make up the majority of participants, the JET salary is about the same as an entry level position upon graduating from university. How else could you entice potential candidates to come over if you can't compete with remuneration.
