,are the people nice
Well, according to my friends in KAL. you can take "NO" as a definite answer. Tried putting in my application couple of months back, only to be told to hold it off and glad I didn't do it based on the latest feedback on interviews and final check rides experiences.
Basically, most will fail the SIM check during interview round. And most will again fail during their final check ride with the authority, which apparently is manned by disgruntled ex-KAL captains. And the latest statistic, was that 2 guys were sent packing after investing 2-3 months of their time during line training. I do stand corrected by those of you who are in the know. And yes, upgrade for expat FO, would be a real wishful thought for years to come.
That's just too much to risk for anyone with stable job. Guess KAL won't be getting their numbers to cater for their ambitious expansion plan.
