I used to work the ramp before I got my wings, and we had the KAL ground contract in YVR. . .. .Their 747's would regularly come in with the entire cargo hold configured improperly. No locks up. The whole pile of containers and pallets sliding back and forth, back and forth.. .. .It usually took a while to reconfigure for departure, so they always ran a little late. And when it started to look like they would miss the ontime dep., a hoard of Korean managers (8-10) would climb into the hold and start pulling at locks. Finding that they could't do anything to speed up the process, they would start to run in circles (no mean feat in the belly of a '47) shouting:. .. ."Put-in ,shut door, Put-in, shut door". .. .At which time we would tell them to leave or we would never sign off their departure.. .. .I see the competence extends right up to the cockpit. Could'nt pay me to fly on them.
