Been speaking to CCL recently - they reckon I have a reasonable shot at 777 PIC NTR. Would appreciate some advice and info, obviously particularly from those who have already been down the route I may be about to take. Currently, I'm employed LHS 757 & 737 for a UK operator. Questions I have (or statements to be confirmed!):

Approx total pay US$13.5k/month (tax free for me being UK resident)?

CCL basically said I'll need to get an FAA licence to avoid flying a few circuits if I put the 777 on my JAA licence - is this easy? And approx $14k for FAA 777 rating yes? How long would I have to allow for the rating?

11 days at home per month - presumably you would be commuting back to base on the KAL network on days off?

Probably the biggest one - I've never been to Korea. Difficult question I know, but in your opinion what are the crews/trips/Korea 'base' like? Decent hotels I presume...

Answers really appreciated as giving up a LHS UK 757 job in the current market is a really big deal IMHO. Thanks very much.
