Mr etops777, you said:
"Please check your resources before making a such remark. China Airlines was never MANDATED to hire any expats. The need to hire an expats was because not enough locals to filled the seats, PERIOD!"
Guess I hit a nerve. However, for three years (1997-1999) "Lufthansa's" Tecknik AG" was hired to upgrade the level of safety and training for China Airlines pilots and engineers. They brought the Airline's kill ratio down from 5 times the worlds average to something far more respectable. As far as I can tell, Lufthansa's employees were expat's and they changed the company. ...period....
And although KAL does require a certain percentage of expat's on the flight deck, ( as in hired) as far as I know they do not require them on every flight.
