One should be very aware that the salary you will get is intended to compensate you for your williness to operate to very different standards as well as flying from A to B. This is how I see it and very happy to be correctd.
You mean kinda like working in the Sandbox?
As a friend that works at Korean told me, the job is s#*%*y, but he always gets the days off he wants, including Christmas for the last 5+ years and most importantly he lives at home. That makes it vastly better than EK... for him.
The issue for me is one of life style/balance. As time progresses EK and Dubai offer less and less. So, if I am going to work for a company/job I don't like, it would be nice to offset that with satisfaction in other areas.
Whether KAL is the answer to that or not, I am not sure, but I am exploring any options that can tip the scales back to a more favourable position.
