This is NOT the problem!!
If Korean, or e.g VAC, or any other airline want to play on the international arena and attract international SLF, they MUST at least reach a certain standard.

It has nothing to do with nationality or breed or anything except a long learned lesson!
F**k it! Even Konfucius said "Learn from the master"
