Korean air
 

Did they start the interview on the 330??

Not sure about the 330 interviews but heard they are going to start interviews for the 747-400 sometime in April.....closer to the end of the month............was trying to find any info from anyone about the interview process in general?

I heard the same regarding the 777. Interviews sometime after April.

Some of these have or are currently advertising in Flight International.
Good luck, ZLIN.

Thanks Zlin......

I understand they only hire Captains... Will they ever hire international FO's?

Korean interview
 

Are there somebody able to explain why Kal is so short of Captains both on A330 and B747-400?
Is it perhaps conditions are not so good as expected? And what about crews based in Europe?
Thanks in advance for any information

FreeFlyer59,
If they're so short of A330 drivers, how come no interview for A330 until end of this year or early 2007? At least this is what the agency I'm dealing with is telling me. Short of trainers or else?
I believe they still have the best commuting contract all around, so I"ll wait them out, hoping I'll get the call soon.
Cheers!

Freeflyer59,
Current European bases are:
London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Zurich, Frankfurt, Prague and Moscow.
In other words, as long as KAL fly to an airport twice a week you can nominate it as your "home base" and receive business class travel to and from for your days off. It does not have to be one served by your specific aircraft type.

Thanks for info Zlin. You seem to be in the know about the commuting roster. Can you tell me realistically how many days off per month you actually get? Does the company mess with time off, or can you expect to have seven days at home each month? Thanks a lot.

GreenOnGo,
Current contract gives 9 (nine) days off a month, this does not include travel time. You also accrue annual leave/vacation days at 2 per month, these can be taken as required.
Generally no problems with your requested days off, so you can organize your life at home.
ZLIN.

kal operations
 

thank you for informations, but only 7 days off net of travel are really not so good.
So will rosters take place from seoul only? and for example is a euorpean base just for days off?
What about training, operations , kind of rostering etc...?
thanks in advance for any further information

I have been flying for them for the last five years and never had any requests denied by the scheduler. Average 11 days off per month (9 + 2 vacation), and about twice a year I have my days off back to back, which allows me to stay home for about 20 days. Horrible, isn't it?

Sounds pretty good Sam. What fleet are you on and where do you stay while working ie. in Seoul?

I'm on the 744 and we (all foreign guys) stay at the Hyatt Incheon when in Seoul. It is about 5 minutes from ICN airport.

Hello,

Can I applied without Type rating?? I am currently on A306.

Give it a rest remote, it's feckin contract flying for gods sake. What do you expect? Crews know what they get into when signing, the t's and c's are surely plain enough and if you don't like it don't go. Not very difficult surely?

Doesn't sound like the worst deal going, another major asian carrier is just offering 8 days off per month and they cannot be taken as block days....

The KAL deal sounds a lot better then the s**te being offered by the Chinese and Taiwanese carriers....
