PappyJ - It appears you have a remarkable ability to subjugate your soul and personality to foreign airlines. That is, of course, your perogative but it does not represent the way most reasonable people wish to live their lives. Most of us are simple souls who wish to exist in peace without fear of persecution on grounds of race, colour or creed.
KAL are a rock-bottom company with a safety record that beggars belief. There is a direct relation between the draconian treatment of foreigners and the dire safety record of this company. It shows a closed culture that wishes to ascribe blame to others whilst hiding personal failings. These are the foundations of castles built on sand. You might imagine that having had to face the horror of a succession of terrible accidents it would concentrate the mind and lead even the most inward looking of individuals to question why their airline was so bad and others were so much better. But not a bit of it. It has led to a seige mentality that seeks to blame foreigners for all ills, and is only marginally ahead of the mindset that exists among their brotherhood in the North. It is most regrettable that some more far-sighted individuals have not attained senior positions there and realised that they are in fact laying the foundations of their next accident. And no one will be more suprised than the present management when it happens.
