Default Korean air 737 CAs?

Wondering if any of you have had experience with these job postings I've been seeing for NG capts?

How's the medical exam and overall QOL? Training? Interview? Are the Korean FOs as bad as some of the Chinese ones I hear horror stories about?

Sounds tempting on a commuting stand point as I live in US city where KE serves. I have 737 time by flying charter, but it's hard to build PIC time when you're barely flying 500hrs a year.

You may want to consider going to pprune forum for matters relating to international flying. The information and coverage is extensive.

FAA Class 1's in South Korea seem to be on-par w/NASA. I updated mine in SK and was a 6hr process. Full work-up, full eye (w/an actual eye Dr.), wanted to give me an EKG although wasn't needed. Much much much more in depth than a standard Class 1 in the states. But they're possible, just don't have anything wrong w/you, not sure what would happen if you needed something filed w/the FAA.
