As we are talking about korean air and Asiana we can notice that the economic impact has actually been positive. Asiana was in deep financial burden well before this situation but it is well known that recently attracted big investors.
korean air...well 2018 and 2019 where the best financial years so far, in Q1 they lost some 40 $M, and in Q2 we all know they made a good profit thanks to cargo prices.
We are all aware of what is a contractor and the risk of losing a job.
what is discussed here is the way these companies are holding the fate of people without taking their responsabilities.
It is very easy to demonstrate that they have discriminated amongst the same group of contractors, and i can give you example for that.
IF A COMPANY DO NOT NEED THE SERVICES OF CONTRACTORS THEY CAN GIVE A SIMPLE NOTICE AND PAY THE DUE.
LIKE THIS THEY ARE PUTTING THE HANDS ON MY FAMILY SAVINGS, AND LETTING MY PROFESSIONAL LICENSES FADE AWAY.
I actually found another occupation and will never think of going back to these scammers.
To all those pilots asking me how was in korean air i’m just telling the truth, no need to invent any story, reality is already enough.
Complaining and whining on pprune won’t fix your problem. Your way forward is to consolidate as many pilots as possible into a blanket umbrella labor complaint and pool your money to get professional legal counsel to force the airline to pay your 60 days severance. If they soon go bankrupt you will have little recourse so time is of the essence to get a complaint posted before the airlines seek bankruptcy protection. Many of us Expats have been through and airline bankruptcy and received nothing and forfeiting our final months salary and zero severance pay. Airlines can try and make the argument they cannot pay you anything due to extenuating circumstances ie Force Majeure which is out of their control and paying the severance pay due would financially cause serious harm to them. Up to a Court to decide. I suggest you get professional legal counsel immediately. It’s like asking for tax advice on PPRUNE, that don’t work well. Get a professional Korean Labour Law attorney and pool your cases so as to spread your attorney fees out. Good luck.
