Without causing angst, I am curious as to your statement about discrimination.
I wasn't slighted or demeaned during the interview, it is the actual training I'm talking abnout. The Koreans think they invented flying, and they think Americans, Canadians and Europeans should learn from them. They don't like younger Captains (I'm 42), but prefer older retirees. And, as I said, if they don't like you for any reason in training, they'll bust you---and you're out. Not a good set-up, and while I was there 3 out of 4 777 CAs were let go, all of which were current, qual'ed and typed in a/c. It just isn't a good job, but pay and equipment are nice.
