Ex-Pats
It is not easy to adopt to the Korean schemes, if you are proud of what you are then be proud but you cannot be Korean.
Korea needs Ex-Pat Pilot due to the insufficient numbers of output of the ROKAF and the non-existing GA. Hang-gung Aviation University does not attract enough Koreans to become a Pilot and since about 3 Years even Korean Pilots leave Korea for employment outside the Country.
If you think you get a fast track command in Korea then go ahead and read the following number slowly : 12 Years -- 10+2 1/2 average for Koreans. No Expat F/O will get a upgrade there sooner, my guess. I might be wrong but after 9 Years there I have seen alot, coming and going, sometimes going faster then going. Dont want to get that negative, just fact stating. There are some Cannucks since 1991 in Korea, works for them, get used to it.
Fly safe and land happy
