If they did that, most would leave after a couple years having the type and a couple thousand hours command under their belt and not finish the contract, and Korean Air ain't that dumb
Guess KAL administration was and is still dumb; heard from previous KAL employees of good standing in the sandpit that KAL was duped by some South African B737 skippers masquerading as B744 skippers ( with only cruise pilot time ). They are still being duped by dodgy folks from dodgy outfits trying their luck with non rated B777/744 skipper ratings. Hard to believe but I was told by good authority to be very true!
Aha, the dodgy folks from apartheid land had great help from an internal Korean source............a corrupt flight admin manager by the name of edkim, who was later sacked! However the manpower and flight ops divisions could not live down the loss of face and nobody squeaked to the KMOCT; so the Boers are still happily driving the 744s and feeling smug that the fooled everybody besides thinking that they must have been really good to progressed impressively from lowly cruise captains to jumbo mahouts!
