All Korean Air and Asiana Airlines Pilots

[av8tordude]

To all who are may be interested.

As you know, Asiana Airline and Korean Airlines has placed the majority of the Expat pilots on unpaid leave due to the events of the current pandemic. While we all understand the difficult times the airlines are experiencing, this does not justify the blatant disregards to fulfilling their contract duties under Korean Labor Law. 4 Months ago, I have been forced to take unpaid leave, however nowhere in my employment contract states this is allowed. I have not received a salary legally owed to me since the forced unpaid leave. As of this writing, I just received notice that Asiana has sent my agency notice that my contract has been terminated with " 2-months notification” as provided in my contract.

I, just like you, am angry at the way we have been treated. When they needed us, we gave them full support without hesitation, but now when we need them, they want to turn the backs on us and throw away like trash. I don't know about you, but this is not acceptable!!!!

I would like be seek a reputable law firm astute in Korean law to seek compensation, but I cannot personally or financially do this alone. I need everyone who has been affected by this to join with me to fight what we are legally owe to us. If you want to join me, you may contact me.

You have to read the fine print. It’s called a force Majeure Clause. A "force majeure" clause (French for "superior force") is a contract provision that relieves the parties from performing their contractual obligations when certain circumstances beyond their control arise, making performance inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible. In the absence of a force majeure clause, parties to a contract are left to the mercy of the narrow common law contract doctrines of "impracticability" and "frustration of purpose," which rarely result in excuse of performance. https://www.venable.com/insights/publications/2011/02/understanding-force-majeure-clauses

Deluded at best!! Just sit at home and take it like the rest of the world. Your expat rights mean zero in force majeure

Not entirely true wyoming.
actually I believe that korean air legal advisors should not be so easy going with the “force majeure “clause.
please read entirely and carefully the following explanation by a legal firm...
https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/guides/covid-19-force-majeure-clause
a simple legal litigation will definitely see korean air succumbed due to the continued production of air transportation services and their high revenue operations.
what is emerging here is a clear and premeditated non contractual adherence...

Thanks for your info Captain but Asiana Airlines did not stop operations.
Locals have 15/15 or 10/20 roster for half wages.
Almost all expats got a contract termination letter from agencies and unpaid leave prolongation letter from company(
So no roster, no money and expired medical, sim and line check( Brilliant!

Actually it does not looks like force majeuere&

This is rasism(

[fatbus]

Why is it racism ?

[lee_apromise]

Let me get this straight, pilots in EU, Australia and New Zealand are getting furloughed and US pilots are embracing to be furloughed on Oct 1st and contract expats in Korea who are not on local seniority list are complaining about getting their contracts terminated whilst EastarJet went belly up, Asiana deal about to fall through, Air Seoul expected to be liquidated, T'way and JejuAir not big enough to receive government financial assistance?

You guys are delusional and how is that racism?

My be because Asiana Airlines dismiss pilots on nationality but not on senioriny ?

Nope, racism has got nothing to do with this, but Malpractices and extremely unfair attitude has....
just because you mentioned it: in all eu countries and many parts of the world unemployment support is available to aviation professional. WHERE THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE THE STANDARD NOTICE IS OFFERED TO EMPLOYEES, WHATEVER CONTRACT THEY ARE IN.

Simple as that, the sneaky and outrageous way of treating people and their family like garbage is now well known in the aviation industry, and it won’t be forgotten easily.

And btw you should get updated infos on the financial results of korean companies in this last Q2, you will be surprised....

The only delusional here appears to be you with your out of context comments....

Yeah, in Q2, KAL and OZ did better than expected due to their cargo growth, everybody knows that.

What I'm trying to say is, you guys are contractors, not permanent employees. You talk about unemployment assistance for aviation professionals. Tell me what kind of unemployment assistance local Korean pilots receive after EastarJet guys lost their jobs overnight. Nothing other than unemployment insurance benefits. Folks have become delivery drivers, laborers in construction sites, working in coffee shops and convenience stores.

The same goes to US pilots expecting to be furloughed on Oct 1st. A lot of folks are accepting the reality that they will have to drive trucks until they get recalled. The same for Canadian pilots who are on furlough as well.

You expect Korean companies to have foreigners on payroll whilst local pilots are losing jobs?

It's not me who is delusional, it's expats with sense of entitlements who are delusional.

Again, contractors are contractors, not permanent employees. Like BAe 146-100 said above, take it like the rest of the world.

You guys are not the only ones in financial burdens.

[SRS]

All aircrew are unsure of their future, even the Korean nationals who as LEE said were fired from low cost airlines. I know both Asiana and KoreanAir Korean pilots are taking a big pay cut. As far as foreigners are concerned the B744 pilots are very busy hauling cargo, The rest are on LOA or not had contracts renewed, or in some cases terminated.
a difficult time indeed.

Again, even with a proper english you seem to avoid answering, but that’s all normal considering the level of arrogance showed in your post and previous ones....

I am proud to be a contractor and I choose it. I knew exactly what to expect and how.
I am not asking for korean unemployement, I am not asking to be paid instead of a local pilot, I am asking to have a fair dismissal if my services are not required anymore.
It is unjust, and extremely malicious, to avoid assuming responsibility on these terms and keeping expat pilots Unable to exercise their rights.

Do I sense of western superiority of yours because you presume my level of English is lower than yours? And what did I avoid to answer?

Korean Labor Code
Chapter 2
Article 26: requires employer to give the employee at least 30 days notice for the termination of the employment. If 30 days notice is not given, the pay in lieu of 30 days must be given to the employee except in the circumstances of Force Majeure.

Article 27: requires employer to give a written notice of termination of employment

Article 28: employee may file for a grievance to the National Labor Relations Commission for unjust termination of employment within 3 months of the termination of the employment

Ministry of Labor's interpretation of "Article 24" (근기 68207-780, 2001.3.8) does explain why forced unpaid is justified.

The ministry's interpretation of the Article 24 is:
"Article 24 states that the employer must try to avoid termination of the employment however should the need to terminate the employment arise, there should be a fair standard and process of employment termination and choose the employees to be terminated based on the fair due process. However, if the employer forces unpaid leave upon employees to save as many jobs as possible, ultimately this is for the benefit of employees. The forced unpaid leave may only be allowed if there was a severe economic hardships of the business enterprise. The forced unpaid leave may only be awarded upon those who are chosen to be terminated based on fair and reasonable process and methods."

Look, as much as I don't want fellow aviators to lose jobs and go into financial hardships but the reality is the reality.

Airlines do Not need to demonstrate they ceased operations, which in many cases they did as countries barred them from flying there. Force Majura is a long standing practice used by businesses and airlines. Northwest airlines used it during SARS and many have invoked it during 9/11 times. All you need to demonstrate are major economic impacts occurred outside of your control. COVID-19’s classification as a “pandemic” by the WHO will trigger a force majeure clause that expressly accounts for “pandemics.” That said, the declaration of pandemic standing alone—without a reference to pandemics in a force majeure clause. Recent governmental regulations intended to contain the COVID-19 outbreak may similarly make it easier to invoke a force majeure clause not previously triggered by the virus. Ever-expanding governmental restrictions on travel, movement, and large gatherings have resulted in significant business interruptions and widespread event and travel cancellations, with a particularly salient impact on the event, tourism, restaurant, airline, venue rental, and sports and entertainment sectors.

All correct. We all know what is happening around us. But the topic is different. It is about ethics and fare practices.

As we are talking about korean air and Asiana we can notice that the economic impact has actually been positive. Asiana was in deep financial burden well before this situation but it is well known that recently attracted big investors.
korean air...well 2018 and 2019 where the best financial years so far, in Q1 they lost some 40 $M, and in Q2 we all know they made a good profit thanks to cargo prices.

We are all aware of what is a contractor and the risk of losing a job.

what is discussed here is the way these companies are holding the fate of people without taking their responsabilities.
It is very easy to demonstrate that they have discriminated amongst the same group of contractors, and i can give you example for that.

IF A COMPANY DO NOT NEED THE SERVICES OF CONTRACTORS THEY CAN GIVE A SIMPLE NOTICE AND PAY THE DUE.
LIKE THIS THEY ARE PUTTING THE HANDS ON MY FAMILY SAVINGS, AND LETTING MY PROFESSIONAL LICENSES FADE AWAY.

I actually found another occupation and will never think of going back to these scammers.
To all those pilots asking me how was in korean air i’m just telling the truth, no need to invent any story, reality is already enough.

Thanks, this explains everything. Unfortunately it is not like that.

Western superiority?!?! I will not answer to that. I lived half of my life in foreign countries and always adapted nicely with local culture. What I can say is that amongst majority of nice and cultured people I’ve met, there is always a bunch of idiots thinking that foreigners are evil and stealing jobs from locals......

Complaining and whining on pprune won’t fix your problem. Your way forward is to consolidate as many pilots as possible into a blanket umbrella labor complaint and pool your money to get professional legal counsel to force the airline to pay your 60 days severance. If they soon go bankrupt you will have little recourse so time is of the essence to get a complaint posted before the airlines seek bankruptcy protection. Many of us Expats have been through and airline bankruptcy and received nothing and forfeiting our final months salary and zero severance pay. Airlines can try and make the argument they cannot pay you anything due to extenuating circumstances ie Force Majeure which is out of their control and paying the severance pay due would financially cause serious harm to them. Up to a Court to decide. I suggest you get professional legal counsel immediately. It’s like asking for tax advice on PPRUNE, that don’t work well. Get a professional Korean Labour Law attorney and pool your cases so as to spread your attorney fees out. Good luck.

Pprune is just a window upon our world: it spread rumors and sometimes the truth.
I only wish that those who are forgotten in these harsh times know that there is always something to do.

I'm already steps ahead of your advice. We have already retained legal counsel and have assembled a few people who are financially able to contribute into the fund. I was not seeking advice, if you read my post, nor did I come here to vent my complaints. My original post was to try to band together to force these airlines to pay what is legally due to us. But clearly some people just want to lay down and take it in the arse with the heads in the ground without fighting for what they are legally entitled!

What you think is legally due and what the airlines think are two vastly separate entities. I hope for the best for you but paying 20k in attorney fees to try and gain back 2 months salary is only making your attorneys rich. Besides at some point KAL and Asiana are likely to require the services of Expat pilots in the long future. Having your attorney negotiate an acceptable settlement to just your group might be the best path forward before you exhaust any potential 2 months of salary in rapidly escalating attorney fees if this goes to a full Court trial. Good luck and keep us posted.

Then why did you make a comment of my English skills? You certainly presume locals have worse English skills than yours.

I am totally not defending the airline management in Korea, we all know how Cho and Park families treat their employees.

And lets get this fact right. Asiana did get an investor. Hyundai HDC. Was the deal finalized? No. Hyundai HDC informed the creditors and KDB that it wants to start the negotiation from the scratch. Insiders and news reports are saying Hyundai HDC is trying to get out of this deal even by paying the penalty. If this deal doesn’t go through, Kumho is going to collapse as well. Now if Hyundai HDC goes through the deal with the previously agreed price, Hyundai HDC will be sued by its shareholders for the breach of duty because Kumho Asiana Group did not disclose the full debt it carries to Hyundai HDC. What did you expect from Korean conglomerates?

So you guys can argue about getting unpaid leave not specified in the contract. Locals don’t have unpaid leave specified in the contract either. The labor law and the case law clearly states that in case of Force Majuere, unpaid leave is allowed if they were chosen to be terminated anyway.

I wonder how the court or the labor tribunal will think about your case when Asiana is taking unpaid leave from all employees and didn't transfer the employee contribution of national health insurance and national pension system to each respective organization. Sounds familiar? This is what happened to EastarJet employees before the company shutdown.

Yeah i don't work in Korea. And as if you hold a law degree. Enjoy your cocky western attitude while it lasts.

Talking about someone posting common law Force Majuere case whilst not knowing Korea is a civil law jurisdiction. Jeez, get some more knowledge old man.

I suggest you get better attitudes towards locals. Your attitude stinks.

Unfortunately all expat Korean Air first officers, A380 and 737 pilots had their jobs terminated today.

Good luck trying to get your word in with Korean courts. It’s a very pro-business, anti-labor country. It’s a country where even murder is pretty much forgiven if you were under the influence of alcohol, to give you an idea. (little more complicated, but you get the idea) But Korean food is delicious!! Situation isn’t much better across the pond.
