A330 Roster Pattern
I would appreciate any information about A330 roster pattern like destinations, days off in Korea and how they manage your layover in Korea concerning the hotel accomodation... I mean, I suppose that every flight we have to check it out, is that correct?
I have heard that this fleet has a better work environment. Is it true?
Thanks in advance!

Two answers:
Fat Boy..., IMHO it is not worth to give up your current position as there is a too high failure rate during the initial training after you have your TR.
169West..... There is still no upgrade for F/O insight. My sources are still telling me that in Administration is still no progress. During the last interview patterns there was still the message: No upgrades on the feedback.

Please, please to a favor to yourself, your career and presumably your family:
DO NOT EVER RISK A JOB TO TRY KAL.
Go to "search" function here, spend a couple of hours on it, and you'll understand.
Again, DO NOT risk you job and your money on something like KAL.
This is a very strong advice.
Fly safe,

KAL B777 Cpts
Hi well done. I have applied to KAL. My only concern is a lot of people seem to be passing the screening, then go and get their type rating at great cost to themselves. But what is the drop out rate ? Is the line training very high standards and only a few actually pass? Would like some info I am sure you would.

Before I decide to leave my job. Could anyone tell me that the percentage to pass the training procedure. I'm a 320 FO with 3000 total and 2200 on type now. I think ,it too risky to leave the job without the clear future.
Anyway, after screening processes, what else we must face before signing with KAL. Thanks for you help

Hey Cirrus,
I think from your research you are on top of things. For YOUR sake,
your FAMILY's sake,your future and your sanity. NEVER NEVER entertain any thought about coming to KAL as a F/O.
% of pilot's passing? Depends on the union mood and pressure
applied to check airmen. Your % is better in Vegas, then blowing your wad
on an expensive course, based on their mood swings. And totally unfair for
you.
However if things work out. Get to fly with nationals who treat you
like ****, and you get to enjoy endless hours of complete silence.
Maybe your current job is crap and totally unbearable. Maybe a change to Kimchi-land is for you [BTW-a Korean pilot told me last week,
"Captain how can you be captian at Korean Air and not like Kimchi"?] WHAT!!!!!!
But please,please understand. No upgrade to Captain.
Best of Luck.

Again & Again & Again &....
Never ever dare to risk your current job for a chance with KAL. It's just a lottery and for that, Vegas is far more interesting.
KAL is for the unemployed only.
You had been warned.
Just do your search here on PPRUNE...

ANA Interview
...I have another question: And why did you not took the ANA - Job?
I am sure you have read above the risk of quitting a Job and get canned from KAL. If you are the lucky one who passes the selection process then you can be 3 out of 4 who get sent home during the training or at the lastest obstacle get shaftet during the Checkride and the re-check is questionable.
So better take the ANA Job instead of fishing in the dark and destroy your confidence at the next interview.

Fellow pilots. do not ignore the warnings you are reading about KAL. do not just read and focus on what you want to hear. there are many positives with this job AND many negatives. read it all and then make your decision. I wish I would have done so.

Issues?
It sounds like you are working at KAL now, is that correct? What kind of negatives have you encountered, and how bad would you rate them? As one who is getting ready to start at KAL, I have heard of issues, but I would appreciate hearing your specific input, if you don't mind. Thanks in advance.
