One other issue that is pertinent to the military pilots entry into KAL is that they automatically get three(3) years seniority over the pilots coming in from civilian backgrounds. I have never understood why the Korean Air Pilots Union puts up with this. Instead of sh%tt*ng on the foreigners they should be striking until this stops. Having operated with the Korean Air Farce pilots when I was in the military I can tell you they ain't that good.
