Dear lizard drinking
As you rightly pointed out, the reason for your strike was to:
"... get the agreement to get rid of the foreign pilots..." (Quoting from your post).
Yes you have a right to assert your career aspirations, Yes you have a right to fill those jobs being held down by ex-pats.
Couldn't agree more. That is, provided you are at least as capable and as competent as those you resent being there.
Now, let us reflect upon reality in Korea. Direct entry captains ex-military with ZERO hours heavy airraft experience.
Bypass of co-pilots by ex military pilots with less experience.
Promotion based upon politics as opposed ability.
A higher kill rate that any air force or military can ever admit to.(In Civil Aviation, that is!!!!)
More hull losses per year, and deaths than any other country, OR INDEED, the rest of the World put together!
Some claim to fame.
I resent your attitide, it does little for you or your country. However, Jailed KAL Pilot has my admiration. Whatever his background, he has admiration, respect, and support.
And
Grange Guzzler,
whatever you have to say about how things have changed is largely as a result of the threatened ban on their operations into the US. Subsequent to that, Delta conducted an audit that was; to say the least, frightening to say the least.
Korea is in a time and culture Warp that it badly does not need.
