It's funny, it's nonsensical and it's downright ridiculous...the so-called riff raffs think KAL owe them a living!
When I was there in the late 90's and early 2000's, many recruits were from bona fide air carriers and established charter operators. Then came the late 2000's we had all kind of wannabes and I knew it was time to bail out. Like they say in the stock market, when the housewives and garbage collectors start buying shares big time, it's high time you run!
So maybe it was " smart " for rk to do a runner but as the Admiral Shin pointed out, it was in poor taste putting him amongst the ranks of the riff raffs. However he could be laughing to the bank as I think KAL would have to pay the balance of his leave at his last drawn premium salary. They missed the chance to pare down his last drawn salary. So Admiral, no class or not rk beat KAL flight admin at their own dirty game!
