Best commuting Contract

It is indeed the best commuting contract if ............

...... you make it thru training,

...... you are not under the radar,

...... you do not expect a upgrade,

I have seen many Guyīs burned out after a while, not because of the hours they fly or the sectors they do. Work is far off the limits, US and EU Operators are using the Crews more effective and up to the peak. You need a protective shield and "fit into the system" then you can state: It is the best, f**k the rest of all the sick and tired wannabee operators who promise you a commute and would like to place you in the cargo-hold if they could. You do not have to beg for a seat in KAL when you commute, it is there for you, no doubt. You have your money on time. There is other significant pain you have to bear with, can you stand it? then welcome to the Club. If you have doubts or a too big Ego then do not leave your present Job for a question mark. 6 out of 7 got chopped, 2 our of 4 did not survive the training. I cannot remember the past few years where the majority made it thru the training.

Again it is the best commuting Job, but why does KAL look permanently for Pilots? The Target is 800... And the screening is one of a kind as well. So think carefully and consider option if it getīs worse, be prepared and it may pay off as the best Job you ever had, keep home and commute. Have the Family and Kidīs (if you have one) where they are used to be.

It is not meant to be negative but open Your eyes and your senses and do not turn a blind eye towards the facts what the people state.

Fly safe and land Happy
