Wilfred,
 
Wv>AH> There are reasons why I will never board a Korean Airlines airliner
Wv> ...
 
Wv> Do you want to share them with us?
 
1) Problematic cockpit culture (that is true for most Asian airlines)
 
2) The lethal accident rate
 
3) Historic issues with navigational problems
 
4) Language. Some years ago I flew into Seattle from Amsterdam and before us
   was a KAL 747. When going through immigration I suddenly heard "Korean
   interpreter at booth 14 requested" ... this was where the captain of that
   flight intended to enter the USA... (the same I've seen with a Japan Air
   lines flight in Minneapolis).
   Listen to this JAL-Captain in Boston ...
