Once Again Korean Air Disappoints
Word has it that Korean Air has imposed new work rules. Three pilots up to 12 1/2 hours flight time. Trips such as ICN-SIN turnarounds mostly backside of the clock with three pilots(5-6 hours one way with 1-2 hours ground time and then return. The Korean Air ex-military pilots agreed to the work rules for an unknown pay raise. The Korean Air union(non-military pilots) turned down the invitation and the expats can like it or leave(they will do most of this flying and will not get a pay raise). You wouldn't catch me flying as a passenger on one of their airplanes. Take the incompetence of the Korean pilots, add fatigue, and then a dose of a situation that requires them to think outside of the box and you have their next accident. Gentlemen/Ladies they are flying in the same airspace.
