So technically I'm an expat(u.s citizen) but since I'm Korean decendent who can speak, read, understand korean, I'm going to be treated as Korean pilot? So in a way I'm going to get treated worse than ex-pat or Korean citizen...since I'm neither???
Also the site you have provided is great for reference but it seems like only information available on that site is for Korean native citizen and their application process. I don't have korean Social security number. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Again, thank you for the tips!
yes, you are going to be treated as a Korean pilot because you are being hired as a Korean, not an expat. To be hired as an expat you need to be typed and experienced in a 747/777/etc. If you want the better pay/contract that expats get, you can obviously apply as an expat too... IF you meet those requirements, which right now you dont.
I had a Korean friend who was a Canadian national, he didnt have the number either so I think he contacted Koreanair about it. He ended up getting an interview, so if you're really interested, you should give it a shot and call/email them.
