Congratulations gents - it might appear that at least the Koreans are not as inflexible and discriminatory as the Japanese.
It would also seem apparent that any improvements you have been given have been WITHOUT the involvement of the agencies through which you are contracted!

It`s interesting to note that of those pilots who have resigned/finished their contracts here, ALL have entered jobs where they are directly employed by the airlines rather than through a contractor.

As an aside, does your contract not state that you are employed as a Captain?
RHS flying would entail using you as an F/O.
Also, we were given the assurance by our contractor that we would NOT be expected to be used as replacement staff during an industrial dispute (probably to save the name of the contractor - which would not want to acquire a reputation of supplying "strike-breakers"!!).

We in the contract world watch your events with interest.

I`m certain that KE expect to recruit more foreigners in the future, and that THEIR treatment of their own pilots, and non-Koreans should be unbiased, fair, and equitable (something the Japanese are Unable to understand.).
