What I enjoy most about working at Korean Air...
"The fact that we are able to bid for, and are almost always granted our
requested days at home every month; the fact that our flying rosters very
rarely change once published; good travel benefits and a clear, unambiguous
contract. The airline has solid SOPs and a good safety culture.
The Korean First Officers with whom we fly are competent, keen to learn
and, despite my lack of conversational Korean, a pleasure to fly with. Flying
the Boeing 777 is a most enjoyable and satisfying way to earn a living.
I enjoy the contrast of the airspace in which we operate – from the frozen void of the northern
polar region to the most complex and busy airspaces in the world.
I enjoy managing the challenges presented by the extreme
weather conditions we face, from monsoon thunderstorms to
the searing heat of a Middle East summer or the brutal cold
of a North American or Russian winter.
It is a privilege being able to spend time in a wide variety of
places, experiencing different cultures and learning about
the social, economic and political issues that affect people
all over the world.
Rishworth Aviation is a highly professional aircrew agency who has our best interests at heart.
Rishworth acts as a conduit for any contractual issues which may arise between us and the
airline, all of which are dealt with efficiently, effectively and promptly"
