I just confirmed with Austin @ Gap Aviation that KAL is definitely still hiring for the 737. Shoot one of the contractors a resume' if interested.

Ok, here is the scoop. KAL is still hiring both Capt's and F/O's for the 737. I just confirmed this with Austin at Gap Aviation this morning. KAL cancelled the interview's for the 737 in May however, KAL did the same thing for the 747-400 in April, but there is a scheduled interview for the 747-400 in May.
So, send one of the contractors your resume' and good luck.

I heard just the opposite. I applied through CCL, and I was not offered a 737 interview in April because the majority of the 25 interview slots was for the 747-400 F/O. I just re-applied as CCL sent me an e-mail to confirm if I wanted to interview at the end of May.

That is all that I know, maybe things have changed again, or they are different for each agency?

Not sure how it works with the agencies on if some get more than others. I do know that they canceled the 400 interview for April as I was set up for it and now it will be in May. If Gap says they are still hiring for Capt and F/O then they are. They are good guys as are the CCL guys. Couldn't go wrong with either.
Good Luck.

KAL had originally indicated that they were going to have B737FO interviews for May but we have just been informed that they will not be conducting the B737FO interviews for May.

It's from one of the agencies. Could someone verify this ?

As far as I know Interviews will be conducted on May 26& 27 ? but not sure which types. All the contractors have the same requirements imposed on them by Korean Air. Things do change sometimes due to requirements.

Can anyone share some information about the A330 F/O training at KAL? Any horror stories, pass/fail rate?

A330 F/O roster

Hi all,

Is there any A330 F/O who could brief us on the typical roster on the 330 fleet?

Whilst looking at the intl' timetable, it looks like you re quite often on your way to China, Japan (etc just to name few asian destinations), Europe etc.

How long is a typical layover away from base?

Cheers

Hi,

Are there any ex-pat KAL pilots who actually live in Seoul full time rather than commute on this contract, just making occasional trips home?

Can an apartment be given in Seoul in lieu of the hotel accomodation?

Also, what travel is provided to the spouse of employee? ie, ID90s, firm tickets, do they have to be accompanied by the pilot or can they travel home on their own sometimes?

Many Thanks

Rudelstein,
Living in Seoul not officially sanctioned and may have Korean Tax impications. Any accomodation would be at your expense.
Your family get 4 firm ( and that is real firm) business class tickets per year. Your current wife, if second time round, and all your kids qualify and can travel independently if they wish. Each time you pass through Seoul counts as one ticket.
SYD - SEL - SYD is one ticket.
SYD - SEL - LAX - SEL - SYD is 2 tickets.
System works well and is one of the plus points of the job.
Regards

Rodmacc,

Thank you very much for the quick reply, that is helpful info. Can I ask, are they Business Class for F/O's family or just for Captain's.

Also, in addition to these 4 tickets, can you get family members ID90 standby tickets, and if so, can these be unaccompanied?

Sorry for all the questions, just one more; If home base is LHR, could the tickets one month be to LHR and another month to another destination (eg Australia, USA) or would the roster always have to be to LHR for the 9-11 days off?

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

R

Business for all concerned. You can certainly get zed fare tickets for yourself. Not sure about families on that one. Perhaps varies from airline to airline. Each month you can got to any destination on the Korean network.
