Gotta agree with Ace Spring here. Of late a few blokes from the sandpit has wriggled into some audit department and fed the higher ups weird ideas of how things are done in the desert airlines..........whooooosh, good things are going to disappear in a puff of sand! KAL a few years back was like EK in the 90's with a nicely comfy operation before the hordes of pilots flooded in. Look what happened to EK now........the same thing is gonnna happen in kimchiland! These hordes has made their fortunes in the sandpit and now converge onto NE Asia, things are gonna get f**ked up. As they begin to misuse and abuse the privileges the Koreans kindly extend to the pilots and families, the KAL management is going to tighten up or even withdraw most of the perks. For the veteran over in KAL, it is probably time to look for other pastures.
