Ace, I used to be in KAL and according to friends still there KLA's commuting contract remains the best around. I loved the " good " time I had with them, but decided that it was not worth the stress. KAL indeed had several close calls like landing on the taxiway in Akita, near meteorite dive at Katmandu etc. It's not nice extra crewing on these flight and then be identified as a crew member later when they find your body in the smouldering mangled mess. Think hard, think very hard guys. Been there, had the kimchin and counted some firends and acquaintances amongst their Guam Nimitz stats
