WOW ...
Why are you guys there ?

Not for long I guess. EK has reverted to earlier " friendlier " productive practices and a lot of ex-EK will be bailing out back to the sandpit.

KAL is attractive for a while when all goes nice and dandy. Once you get sucked into their system and find yourself so constricted in an ever insecure world, you will be dying to bail out. The Korean system is a slave driving type bent on punitive measures to maintain a semblance of safe, orderly operations. Many pilots find this at great costs once the fall afoul of the cookbook system of flying.

Over the past 2 years, there were about 4-5 suicides amongst the cabin crew due the master-slave punitive system of the management to achieve results. Words go around about cabin crewmembers forced to voluntarily buy duty free items to achieve the required quota of sales. Operatios despatch office shifted to the remote air side of the airport leading to ridiculous commuting to and fro prior to flight; all to satisfy the egos of the overbearing chairman and his equally insufferale daughter.

Haejungkik will soon get his wish of seeing dwindling numbers of expats.
