Hanjin chairman under fire for trivializing pilots? job (http://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20160314000929&ntn=0)

Breaking news! Peanut Airliner again!

It's father's turn this time.

Now all pilots should know how they (or that family) treat thier pilots.

He must be a pretty poor businessman then if he keeps paying them high salaries. He should just hire a whole lot of 200hour pilots and pay them the average national wage and his company would be in better financial shape. All the shareholders should demand this.

That would be so much better for local lads.. I don't even know why they increased the minimum from 250hrs to 1000hrs for locals.

What's the difference between 250hrs in C-172 and 1000hrs in C-172?
Zero, Nada, Zippo.

Chairman cho - a person who needs to hold his chair upside down over his head - is washed out when he tried to be a pilot in Kal when his father was alive.
If you know korean culture, it is not easy, almost impossible unless willing to be punished anyhow, to say NO to future chairman.
However, instructors did. That is enough to prove his brain.

And a few weeks ago, one kal plane diverted to its departure airport 'cause Landing Gear could not be retracted. The reason was mechanic did not remove gear pin(s).

Don't go nor consider kal for your option.
They are not trustworthy. Why?
Think about way of thinking of owner family.
It proves how kal will end.

Kal stopped captain upgrade for those who has been working as slave - being treated like a slave - since 2001.
They are still first officer.
And numorous expats were kicked out for no reason even after successful screening.

That is why kal recruiting all the times.
Full of absurd things are going on there.
If I were you, I will not step in.
Why risk your career?

Maybe at 1000 hours the locals recognize the crash will happen.

The Chairman never receives any actual news, because in the Korean system bad news only travel down the ranks, never up...
When KAL had the overrun in Japan, he lost his ****, because he had been laughing about Asiana in SFO, and had been assured KAL would "never" have an accident again...
