An acquaintance who has been at KAL for 15 years was telling me in the briefing area he noticed a KAL captain bowing and scraping to an F/O. He later found out the F/O had been a squadron commander in the korean air farce and the captain had been his "junior". They still carry their rank to a certain degree. My question would be what happens if these two pilots are in the same cockpit? Who is in command? My bet would be the "junior" is in command only on paper. In both the Guam and Stansted accidents these military guys had just a few years with KAL and were captains because of their prior positions. Don't tell me it doesn't happen. That was a point brought up in the Delta report done many years ago. This ain't the same report that is on the internet from the Kiwi.
