I think most expats have adjusted to the idea they won’t be returning and have moved on. Do you really want to be in the middle of a KAL-Asiana cockpit cultural war anyway? Remaining expats should consider themselves on a 2 month contract now that management has a taste of how disposable expats are.
I hope KAL pilots are ready for seniority integration because it’s going to be a horror show. CRM skills will be put to the ultimate test.
If seniority goes by date of hire, whatever pilot group has the most new hires pre covid is going to suffer. Those surplus Asiana pilots are going to parachute nicely into KAL seats at the expense of KAL pilots.
As indicated on other posts, I’m sure most Koreans will be happy to see the expats gone after the merge. After down bids and 15 years in the right seat with someone who doesn’t want you there, keep professional and safe. I know that’s what the expats tried to do.
