Hey guys! Searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to my question. I'm considering applying for a KAL 737 F/O contract and would like to know if it is possible to commute on their freighters to your home base. As I live quite far from any of their hubs it would be better to catch a freighter flight which flies directly to my home base. Anyone got any experience about this?

Kind Regards,
LHN

I heard third hand that this is possible.
The person concerned actually prefers it as he eats when he wants, not when he is told, and often gets a bunk to get some shut-eye en-route.
I am guessing that it is above board as I don't see KAL accepting otherwise.

Talking today with ex KAL colleague, he reports the above ops possible as he did it in the past.

Yes, it is possible, as long as (if I remember correctly), the airport is serviced at least 3x / weekly by the freighter. Perhaps others commuting from freighter routes can confirm...
