From what I know the ones out of job with nowhere else to go, KAL offers a good commuting contract as long as you can tolerate the shafting every now and then. The good ones with opportunities coming up as soon as things improve are most certainly going to run.
The ones remaining are a combination of astute operators who have the guile and fortitude to put up with the Korean **** plus a whole bunch of riff raffs who will not get anywhere. These riff raffs are a disgrace to the expat pilot communities and usually get into trouble unnecessarily putting all other expat pilots in bad light. Most come from dodgy backgrounds with dubious hours and ratings but somehow made it through the hoops. You can sniff them out miles away, either in the scruffy jeans waiting to rush in for the meal coupons ( earning derisive looks from the local guys ) or claiming travel or other privileges for a host of step children, etc. To these blokes, KAL is heaven sent. However, sooner or later the KAL management gonna tighten the screws and everyone gets hit.
