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?

You also always have a place to stay in ICN between trips, a local hotel that is very nice (I hear we stay there) on airport grounds. So, no crash pad needed.

There was a follow on MOU which clarified the MOU to which you are referring. It allowed any color underwear or commando. This was more beneficial to the pilot group. It also mandated wear of the hat.

The number I heard was much higher. Are there bonuses or anything that make KAL pay go into the mid 3's?

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.

I just signed up for the Marriot gold challenge. I think they should do a reality show.

We had a few DAL captains go to KAL after the bankruptcy with varied degrees of satisfaction. I remember reading one guy's synopsis about the training process and it wasn't flattering.

I have also heard that you will have to like being by yourself. The Korean F/O's won't have anything to do with you. It's supposed to be very isolating.

Now, this may not be the case. Maybe someone has more information. I'm not really into Kimchee. I got over that in the military. Smells to high heaven.

There's only one thing that smells worse, and that is all the people who eat it!
