My understanding is they have a "commuting" base in the US. I had heard a number (a big #), but I wanted to see if it was true.

Contract guys make around $16,000 per month, but I've seen contracts as high as 18,000. You can commute from any US base where Korean flies international. ATL, JFK, LAX, SFO, ORD, etc and they give you a positive space business class seat both ways.

That is probably the first serious incident/accident we’ve seen since everyone’s training has been dumbed down to almost zilch.

That's like the current philosophy of doing a QRH item by memory even though said procedure is not a QRH memory item. The concept is that you can accomplish the a QRH procedure by memory only if you are absolutely sure, and if your wrong your in trouble.

I'm all for making things easier, but gimme a break here we could use a few more memory items in our checklists.

There was an MOU that you didn't see which allows a cape and whitey tighties instead of the thong.

This way you can choose which days you want to feel sexy and which days you want to feel like a super hero.

I'll have to research further to see if you can do both.

You need a reason to wear a pink thing?

What I gave was base pay. There are contract bonuses and other perks, but I don't think anyone makes in the mid 3's. The low to high 2's is as high as I've heard, but things may have gotten better to entice all the new people they need. But since you are in the US less than half the year and you work for a foreign company, the first 85K of your income is free from US taxation.
