Korean Air new hires on hold
 

Korean Air did not start new hire classes in September or October as they planned to...Apparently there is a conflict between the Korean Ministry of Transport and Korean Air management regarding foreign pilots. Or maybe even the Korean pilots union has told the company they've hired enough foreign pilots...

There are pilots that were non type rated at the time of their interviews, told they were hired, paid for type ratings and are now on hold...

Does any know what's up and when they'll start new hire classes again?

Can anyone else confirm this. No offence to the poster but all the agencies are still advertising for crew. Unless this is hot off the press.
Anyone out there shed some more light.

How about contacting the agencies?

My recruiter called me this week to advise my 777 g/s course at KAL has been put on hold until further notice. Was scheduled to start Nov 4th.

Not happy....

I have a job offer by KAL for NTR B777. According my agency the dates of the next courses will be settled down latest by november, so lets see and wait.... So I will go for my typerating now and then sit down and hope....

Some good news just received from my recruiter says November ground schools at Korean will start as planned.:D

blues deville :cool:

Any Updates?
 

Just looking for any updates. Still no news on the October Interview names. Has anyone else heard?

Thanks and Fly Safe!

They do seem to wait until the very last minute to advise potential candidates of their interview dates so hang in there. Good luck! :ok:

B737 Kal
 

anyone who got called for interview as fo on B737...Apparently they start in November as my agency sai (For B737), but still not confirmed by then.
Do u jave info guys???/Girls???:rolleyes:

Who are the best agencies, I know I should do due diligence, that it is what Im doing now. My current gig is very good, but I would really like to be home and commute.

Thanks

Rishworth is the worst.(my opinion!)

CCL or GAP are generally regarded as the best.

Nope - BEST is "worst". Followed very closely by IAC.



Yep, that's right.

2nd tier is Euro-Pacific & Rishworth.

Still jobs advertised for B777
 

Did any of you guys have a start date yet? They still advertise for Direct entry jobs on the B777. News from the KAL management?

Nov 4th class is back on

do they let you stay checked into the hotel even if you are on overnights

No, you checkout every time you go to work.

thanks for the info E
are there any alternatives to this

No alternatives, You fly You clear the room and pack all in a suitcase. You come back and then you unpack again. That is the Deal.....

The hiring from the Agents continue until some more are in the Data-bank again. The local Pilots are not happy about it, as several times in the past. I would say it is a high risk at the moment to leave a stable Job and go for it to learn it the hard way. Too many good Guy´s where toastet in the past like peanuts get roastet. Have a plan "B" from the very first moment you start.

They are nice during the Interview and when you wear the Batch you will hear words like: We do not care about this or that, talk to your Agent. Your Agent will do nothing to harm the climate between KAL and himself.

There was once a Agency who had +70 Pilots in KAL and he is now down to less then 10 Guys and between the lines you can learn that those are History when the contract is due for renewal. So, both sink: Agent and Pilot.... be warned, be careful, be cautious.....Think twice what you want to achieve and how.

Fly safe and land happy

This thread seems to have a very short history or much of it has been deleted.

At the moment those flying at KAL see this not a good position? Is that what I am reading. In the past there seemd to be many pilots that may a go of it. It was tough but bearable. Have things changed?

Thanks
