Gengis and Wally,

as I see you are very informed, do you have any answer for my questions a few posts ago regarding the 2 years university degree?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards.

Degree
 

Ola Glapira,
Yes, KAL requires a min. of 2 year degree for FO's....maybe to compensate for mongolians like "Genghis-Khan".
Remember to smile everybody and safe trips.

CCL or Rishworth?
 

Checking terms and conditions, seems Rishworth T&C are better.

Please any good or bad opinion?

I work for Rishworth now at another airline (Vietnam Airlines). This is my first contract job. Rishworth has a horrible rep, and have since they have been in business, through a couple of different owners.

They just cut our pay here at Vietnam Airlines. Not the airline. Rishworth. Real scumbags. Parc is a better company, as is DPI. Not perfect, but better than the scum at Rishworth.

what did rishworth cut it too, please

You're always out on a limb with this type of work, it just depends how strong the limb is! I've always heard good stories about Parc aviation. I guess if you work at Korean there'll always be a certain amount of nationals who are resentful. Probably best to get on with it and keep your head down, not always easy given the injustices that take place.

KAL will be going the way of EK; T & Cs will deteriorate as hordes of adventurers who abandon camp in the sandpit march into the pastures on the Korean peninsula. The management is waiting to recruit more expats as the greenback drop; once they have the numbers, they will tighten the screws.

KAL going the way of EK
 

Alas, too true.....now we have cds given to study on our OWN time, on line courses to be done on our OWN time, all kinds of online tests, etc. EXACTLY like EK; mind you...KAL is turning into an EK clone! No thanks to kermit, sigh:ugh::ugh::{:{

Got to agree; when the ex EK pilots turned up at our shores, the management started to get pilots to do all kinds of courses on line on our own off days. They are bring all their rubbish practices and delivering them to our gleeful management who wants to learn all the dirty tricks of the trade to screw our pilots.:{

Im just looking around for maybe something else.
But reading the forum over Middle east, Asia makes me shiver!

Whats up with this your not even qualified in the right seat???
You cant fly as a first-officer?

KAL B777 Cpts
 

Hi,

I am considering applying through rishworth for B777 NTR Scheme. I have 2500 hrs cpt B757 time. Is there much of a chance for me? Can you give me details of contract and life there?

Thanks

Hi Flyjet123:

Lately Korean has been hiring NTR 777 pilots with a training/checking background. Not sure why but this has been the trend in recent months. There is also increased interest from many qualified EK pilots so the 777 slots are being filled for the monthly courses with no NTRs.

Training program is three months long in Seoul. Sixty hours of line training (OE) for NTRs is intense but once you are signed out its probably the best commuting job with good working conditions flying defect free aircraft.

Apply and see what happens......good luck!

bd :cool:

Flyjet,
Your chances are good. Just give it a go. As mentioned, intense and demanding course. But coming from 75/76 onto 777, no big sweat.
Read through the posts by some of the folks here. I'm sure you know which ones, they are of valuable help to your pursue.
Best of luck.

Korean requirements for the A330 non type rated contract are 2000+ PIC and 1500+ 320/340.

Now the real question is which amount of hours makes one competitive for the job.

Anyone have an idea?

LD

Minimum hours
 

Hello All,

As LD asked how many hours.... the minimum and above. There is no sense to choose the highest hours of the stack... It is by luck only. All suitable candidates are in one stack and then a Administrator decides who will be invited for a Interview. Then the selection starts. Medical for Astronauts, SIM-Check straight forward and a Interview about 30 min. That´s it. After two weeks you know what the result is. Good luck what follows.

Fly safe and land happy
