Nope, Elac beat me to a pulp. It sounded like sour grapes for a while but some objectivity started to shine through, although I would like to know if there are more recent experiences than 2003 since there is a good friend that has been offered a position at KAL
The Dominican,
Accept my apologies, I probably reacted too harshly earlier on.
I worked at KE until 2005, so my observations are valid to that point. From speaking to friends nothing much has changed in the mean time, save that they are now critically short of pilots.
I'd suggest that your good friend think carefully, and talk to the guys with a number of years in at KE, before accepting a position there. It's not all bad, but unless he has previous experience with Korea he may be in for a rude awakening when his line training starts.
Enjoy Japan,
ELAC
