I've heard that the native Korean pilots sent to TLS for training on the type were all sent home as Airbus didn't deem them suitable.

The aircraft is currently being flown by ex-pats.

36kt gusts will make anyones day go bad quite quickly.

Why would an aircraft of that size have so few passengers ?? You could fit them all in an old 737 which I'm sure would have been a lot cheaper

When landing in a crosswind, particuilarly with a swept wing aicraft, you have to remember to keep applying into wind aileron at and after touchdown.

Its not the best photograph in terms of quality - but that aircraft seems to be a long way off the centre line. Maybe Korean Air should fit some stabiliser wheels under engine nacelles 1 and 4!!!
