Lots of baseless quackery from people who've never been out of this country and never will. SD isn't a political subreddit we just here for cheap stuff. If your comments aren't helpful to the product keep it to yourself.
Is it worth thinking about? Do you make airline choices based on speculation on pilot training while flying domestically in the US?
If I had to speculate, I'd imagine that ROK has higher per capita number air force pilots than the US and that percentage would flow into the pool of commercial pilots upon discharge maintaining a highly trained pool of pilots. not knowing anything about air force pilot training in ROK, US or anywhere else (everything I know about training pilots, i learned in the top gun movies) i'd imagine they are better trained and have more experience than commercial aviation school.
what i think more about is why there are so many more fares to Europe in the $300-$600 RT compared to $1100+ RT to Japan or Korea more frequently.

They already have LLC airline in Korea and start to fly between US and Korea starting end of this month. They offer wider leg room for the economy seat and a premium seat with leg support. The price is very reasonable since the flight ticket price is crazy during the holiday season
I wonder how experienced their pilots are. At least within China, there are tons of experienced but too-old-to-fly-by-FAA-standards pilots flying around and lots of young ones who come to flight schools in the U.S. and are embarrassingly unprepared. China and Korea are of course two completely different places but I wouldn't chance a flight on this airline likely underpaying pilots with minimal flight hours flying over the Pacific. Not a conspiracy theorist nor do I know what Korean regulation standards are but ... ... worth thinking about.
I wouldn't worry about the safety concern since most Korean pilots went through the Airforce academy.

Conspiracy theorists have better stories than the baseless quackery you're tossing around

Appreciate the response, I have heard similar accounts of foreign pilot flight preparedness. I guess my response was a gut reaction at the thought of avoiding an airline altogether - are a lot of planes crashing outside of the US because of inferior piloting skills/knowledge?
What are the true, high probability risks?
All questions that are hard to answer and we have to live our lives. That said, there is easy NTSB public data available in some scenarios, like taking a Napali Coast helicopter ride[sfgate.com], where some of the glossy-brochured, most advertised companies are also two of the more unsafe. That may just be based on their carrying more passengers and performing more flights but it is findable.

It's worth thinking about, my only point. I don't know jack about this airline or maintenance standards in other countries.
