You are very kind CF. I would have worded it differently. The only time one should join a dead end position, such as KAL's F.O. program is when they are out of work or have some other over-riding reason to accept a dead end position without opportunity for advancement. To leave a steady job at what might be a good carrier is just stupid. If a leave of absence is possible and it's just to have an adventure in Asia for short while, then disregard.
