   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 ...
