The reality is pilots are expendible and in abundant supply
So are diamonds, but many of them have flaws, and not all have the same cut and polish as others.
otherwise why would they continue this practice if it was a loss maker??
You say you're a pilot working in Asia??
Then you should understand the thinking.
They'd rather have it done THEIR way, and
lose a million , than to admit they were wrong, and save the coin.
Profit margins can be (and are) adjusted any way the company accountants are told to.
One of their chief-pilot was telling me : KAL is getting rid of all expat
Only a few years ago, I recall hearing that KAL were INSTRUCTED by their insurer that they HAD to have a percentage of round eyes (either on the flight deck, or in the total composition), because of their incredibly bad accident record.
CAL should do the same
...and replace them with whom?
Taxi drivers?!
