Any chance of ICN base in the future?
Hey everyone!
I am a brand new FO at a regional thinking about my future in cargo flying!
Recently - I traveled to South Korea and I saw A LOT of Atlas (747) planes. It was incredible.
It got me curious and I began reading about Atlas and ICN - apparently you guys fly there quite frequently and Atlas is building a big maintenance base in ICN to be completed by 2025!?
Do you think there will be ICN base for crew in the future? If so - that would be amazing
I would love to be closer to my parents in Korea.

It would be nice if it was doable tho....

On the 74 there are multiple ICN - ANC flights a day as well as trips that start with deadheads to ICN. The best though I think is the 767 runs. Those start and end with DHs to ICN. You could work 3 nights a month and be done. Although those take some seniority to hold and that's the most the subject to change as that's just one DHL contract and I could very well see it going back to TPE as it once was.

Wow you guys! This is fascinating! I did not think it was remotely possible to live in Korea and commute to a U.S. company. I'm guessing it's only possible with Atlas (which means this will be my final destination company) I am super excited 😁 Thank you very much for your inputs!
