Actually, the company increased the number of expat pilots claiming they cannot get enough supply of pilots within Korea. I get the impression from Korean KAL pilots that the company is treating the expats better than their Korean counterpart and increasing number of expat direct entry captains, thus limiting the opportunity for the Korea FOs to upgrade-all to weaken the union. In return, those people over there may think of you as....well...... you know what... and get mad at you so possibly a bad treatment.... take it for what it's worth
You are getting all this from what? From personal experience? I doubt that since you don't seem to know what you are talking about. Instead of spewing nonsense from your own personal prejudice, why not do some real research and talk to people who really fly there like I have. US pilots ARE treated well, probably little better than Korean pilots as you have said, and that is what I am hearing from all my friends who fly over there. Feedbacks I am getting differs night and day from yours and having been over there during my military days, I call your statement unsubstantiated BS. My friends and I have always been treated with respect when we were over there for joint military exercises.
