Many have fallen into financial ruin due to penalties accumulated from Tax liabilities. Do yourself a favor and consult with a Tax lawyer that specializes in foreign earned income. It’s the best money you will ever spend.

Death and Taxes, the only two things there is NO escape from.

Where your interests/family are. Now, where you decide to put your interests, especially if you have no family, that’s another story and I would definitely choose some places over some others.

With not all countries using family and interest ties as criteria that solely dictate your tax residency status, it's not always going to be as clear cut as that. As a contract pilot, one is no different to a business with interests in different countries that use the 'benefits' of the tax legislation in different countries and combine them to create the most tax-efficient environment for them.

With the KAL contract, it will be far easier if you can base yourself in a country that will not require any tax under the double tax agreement in place. However, if this is not possible then I can vouch that after many hours of research with some professional help too, you can base yourself in Europe with no tax liability on the KAL contract. We are of course, all individuals with different circumstances.

?

is it worth it going to Korean air as a type rated FO?

[AtoZ]

Wagon007, it s only worth applying as an FO if you understand and are happy for KAL to never give you a command.

[eduelp]

Have they removed the 4 year FO experience requirement for DEC? I see no mention about this in the latest advertisments

A to Z, could you check your PMs? Thanks again.

Hello everybody!
I read all above and the other Forum about KAL as well.
I miss some information about the Homebaseprogram on the 777 or other fleets. Anyone willing to share some information about it?
Are there really pilots on the 777 fleet based in FRA or VIE, AMS that could share their experience or a roster?
Thanks

[Star Ferry]

Rishworth can give you some example rosters on the Homebase programme Triple7en....

looks like 737 intake has stopped. However now I see some agencies are looking for NTR 777 Captains (some say self sponsored)

Recently hired or interviewed?

Be grateful for any feedback on the interview process and impressions on KAL from a recent interviewee or new-hire. I have an assessment for DEC 747 in the coming months and although prepped by my broker would value some independent information from anyone on the fleet.
