It would be interesting to know if the Captain was Korean or an Expat, seems that the plethora of incidents and accidents to KAL Aircraft over the past years which prompted the Airline to bring in Consultants and advisors from Foreign Carriers,as well as an ongoing procession of Expat crews,has done little to Fix the underlying problem of Class,Rank,and Self Entitlement,displayed by many Nationals in positions of Power.
Its actually achieved a lot, the last pax fatal was in 1997, cargo fatal 1999. since that date 3 non-fatal incidents none of which were the crews fault.
Hardly a plethero of incidents.
Safety wise there up there with the best, according to all reviews independent or otherwise.
I still would not fly with them.
