Strange practice for pilots to go for meal tickets at the hangar!
Hey, we ain't losers but some of us do need to survive after being furloughed. On second thought, maybe I will give KAL a miss. Not worth the angst.
Babablackship...the expat pilots do not go to the hangar for free meal tickets! There is an office place which was part of the former flight operations despatch center which was converted to a " hangar room " where pilots have company issued coat hangers to keep their jackets, uniforms and overcoats. The comany is such a cheapskate entity that they do not even have locker rooms or mail boxes for pilots, only cheap pvc/nylon type " coat hangers " that you probably can get from some dollar tree shops!
Now, haejangkuk is probably one of the newer Korean pilots who are quite fluent in English and would have listened in to some of the irresponsible remarks made by el cheapo expats with loose lips. Hence his angst against the foreign pilots. I don't blame him entirely; as of the late we have many expats with strange habits, dodgy credentials and odd ethics being hired. We do have some with " parker penned " credentials ingratiating themselves to KAL management, so thankful to be in the big league. Some of us are seriously looking to jump ship not because of the Koreans ( we have already factored in the Korean malaise when we first joined ), but for fear that these dodgy expats are going to screw things up really bad for the foreign pilot group.
