JL, I should thank you for your sarcastic post to an honest question from someone who knows very little of the region - I admire your insightful replies, and hope to hear more from you in the future...

(Tell me, was the humour in that post lost in the maze of cyberspace, or do you get some perverse pleasure from being naturally deceiving and misleading... apologies if it's the first.)
Fookungdo, thanks for putting me straight. As for being naive, well I'm not quite following. Any problems (assuming there would be any, which I kinda doubt) would only be a consideration if I were to be accepted into the company. Also my perspective is perhaps a little different than most, in that
all I'm concerned about is captaining a heavy for an international carrier. I'll make large concessions for everything else.
Any further comments appreciated.
Cheers,
Turbofan
