This airfares is available to book directly on Air Premia [airpremia.com] or Booking.com [booking.com]. Their website is not the user-friendliest. I had to play with it a few times before I could get to the next steps. Limited seats for the promotional inaugural airfare. Once that is sold out, it will go up to the next level, so don't wait.

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.

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

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.

Quote from sc0re :
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.

Quote from verbaljint :
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
What is LLC airline and where to the US will it fly to?

Quote from runner0382 :
It isn't baseless. Foreign students who come through FAA training sites in the U.S. are often not great. This is firsthand knowledge. A cheap airline may skimp on pay and not recruit the best talent. These aren't opinions. The latter is of course conjecture. As an example of cost cutting, while of course there are laws and regulations for the minimal amount of maintenance airlines perform, again using firsthand knowledge, if you think low cost U.S. airlines maintain their jets as much or as well as larger ones do, not all do, and you are kidding yourself. There are domestic airlines our own government FAA employees will not fly. The same reasoning can be applied to foreign ones. The question is if it's valid, which I cannot answer.

It's worth thinking about, my only point. I don't know jack about this airline or maintenance standards in other countries.
What airline in your experience has a good maintenance reputation and employs experienced pilots in the US for domestic flights?

I ask as I've never flow before and am already hesitant to do so, but am wanting to travel in the near future and would prefer to do it as confidently as possible. Cost is not a huge concern, within reason.

LCC is low-cost carrier but not sure about LLC.

This airline just fly from ICN to LAX , vice verse. Maybe ICN to SFO in the future.

To be sure. Have seen lots of Europe for that reason!

I have had more spontaneous trips to Europe because fares are far lower. Flew to Paris-SFO for $276 in 2016, London-LA for $478 in 2019. I've never flown to Korea or Japan for less than $1400.
In considering where I fly or which airline, consideration of pilot experience has not been top of mind.
