What's with Kal?
They advertise constantly always interviewing and forever training but I am still hearing guys are failing there checks and that their line training with local pilots is more and more stressful with high failure rates.
Why is that an Airline that needs Westerners in it to make it work safely is allowing local trainers to pick them to pieces and tell them that they can't fly!,,
That's after they have passed their interview and passed all the sims conducted by westerners?
This could be a great job if the locals just relaxed a little. Or a lot!
If Managment want pilots then why are these silly games continuing?

Thats the culture...wont change in a hurry,thats why so many leave..
The locals need to feel significant by picking to pieces the expats,the culture is negative training ie,no positive feedback is given or written.
Once you through and get checked out is goes ok,many guys have been there a long time ,but many dont last long either..
Unfortunatly it makes it not worth to leave a reasonably job to try there.
Only go there if you have nothing or want wide body time.

Hey guys and girls. Is there anybody that can PM on experiences with the A320 to A330 transition. Do they make it that hard that its too much off a risk to leave a job at home thats below ordinary.

Any help is much appreciated

if Kal offer you a job,you will have to go a pay your own CCQ,
If you have no experience wide body,long haul and working with Asian culture your chance for successful completion check to line with KAL with be much lower that going in with significant such time.
it's certainly not worth the risk if you are in a comfortable position.
Depends on your plan B ..

Thru their major transition beginning 2000, locals here have gained confidence on their flying/operational skills while not experiencing one single major accident past one and half decades. Their false notion that they could always do better than expats plus their culture to draw a line and form a sector where no foreigner would be allowed to cross or enter make it incredibly challenging for expats to overcome and satisfy these local captains/screeners.

Any idea how things are in the 737NG fleet?

But I don't understand this people, they always need pilots but in their recruitment It says you have to have a University Degree for FO. It doesn't matters your flying experience... What a such tupid thing. We are pilots...
