KQ to triple fleet size in ten years
Two Dreamliners are expected to come in 2013 and five more in 2014. By 2015, KQ aims to have a fleet of 68 planes. The airline will bring in 60 -70 expatriate pilots to captain its planes over the next two years as there is a shortage of experienced captains in the country.
(currently KQ has 31 planes)
Have the unions approved foreign captains? Rumors are all previous attempts to bring in expats have been shot down by unions. I don't think *Experienced* captains would really eat any local jobs. Management will be most happy to replace expensive expat captains with lower wage locals as soon as they have gathered enough experience..
Unions should be worried if management starts bringing in low-hour "hour-builder" FO's.
