What are my chances of even getting to an interview?
1800tt and almost all single engine C172.
CFII with Multi Commercial
Korean/American and am U.S. Citizen.
No type rating
If so, where do I apply?
thanks!
they're actually hiring guys like you right now. i know several CFIs/regional airline guys who interviewed within the past year (a few got hired). pay/contract/treatment is not going to be as good as it is for expats. (even though you are technically an expat because of your u.s. citizenship, you are not getting hired as an expat, but rather as a korean.) ???? ::: ???? if you can read Korean, the link for the online app is right there. the application is accepted all year round, but they hold interviews only twice a year, i think june and december?

Thanks for the info!
bit confused however.
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.
Can someone in the know comment on the 330FO program at KAL? Is it much better than some of the things I've heard about the 777? Are there many expats on line in the 330 program or are most of them just starting training? Is there a different culture at KAL from fleet to fleet? Thanks in advance.
Be careful as well, unless you have already hit your military obligations they will draft you if they find out that you have Korean descent.
Well that's the thing. I have leagally forfieted my Korean Citizenship so that I can not be drafted. I worked there for 1 year several years back with no problem after the forfiet. This is why it's confusing for me. I'm not Korean citizen, so how can I get a job as Korean?
Wouldn't they be sour with the fact that I gave up my Korean citizenship and not served in the korean service?

That's not the only problem. You also have to sign a 10 year hitch.
