Korean Air KAL Airbus destinations
Can someone tell me where Korean flies with the 330's. Also what would the average monthly pay be and what bases they offer for an Airbus Captain?
Thanks in advance.

They do a lot of the domestic flying in Korea as well as short hops to Japan, China and a few long haul destinations. Lately they have Sydney, Dubai-Cairo, Moscow, Prague, and a few others closer to the Pac Rim.
Bases used to be anywhere on the KAL system, not sure if they will still offer that. Pay is around USD 10,000 per month plus per diem.

I hear there has been a pilots strike with KAL recently. Are the positions on offer now (A330) in any way connected with "strike-busting"?
Also how are foreign Captains considered by the local FOs?

330's go a lot of places. What has already been mentioned is correct, and in addition, they also service Bangkok (Pusan - BKK), Brisbane, Nadi, Zurich, Amsterdam, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Mumbai off the top of my head.
Generally local F/O's enjoy flying with foreign Captains, of course, like anywhere, there is the odd exception to the rule I guess.
As for the any connections to the strike, well, you have to remember that the longer the Korean pilots strike, the more the chairman dislikes them, and the more foreign pilots are looked upon favourably by the company....

What destinations do the '777s go to? I hate these open questions about my airline but if anyone is kind enough to reply, what kind of rosters with regard to destinations and patterns do the '777 get? the current expat contract talks about 8 days guaranteed off with another three made up of travel and leave. How realistic is that? Thanks.

flyguykorea, any idea why Urumqi failed, could they have done better using an A300 or a 737-800/900.

As for the days off, yes I would say that the days off you have been quoted is realistic. Only exception would be in the event of a strike by the locals, then the rosters go out the window. Regular months are as stated.

flyguykorea Urumqi was an A332.
Also just remembered that A330's do seasonal charters to other places like Pattaya (Utapao), and Chiang-Mai,
They fly the A330 to Ulaan Bator too.

Re: Korean Air KAL Airbus destinations
I have a few question
I was just going thru the contract for the 330, 9 day off ( in a row) per month do they make you travel home during those days??
do they stick to it? ( the day off )
After a few year flying for them do they consider you for a fleet transfert?
thanks alot
