Not for one minute downplaying the above gentlemans experiences as fact , however be open minded gentleman and ladies , there are many carriers ( particularly in the Middle East) that had heard of 100 + of their pilots considering the KAL contract , PPRUNE has always been a wonderfull propaganda tool , in this case using the above articles to try dissuade potential wannabee,s . Do YOUR own homework properly. I am meeting with some friends in KAL next week who ARE 777 Captains who slipped through the training system ( and passed)and will be getting the other side of the story.
As I say its entirely fesasible that these gents had these terrible experiences , but be wise and understand the workings of propaganda.
This forum is an incredibly powerfull tool for both sides of the fence.
