Appreciate any background.

Was also surprised to see the Hyatt offering half-priced bottles of wine in the bar as a special promo for crews only ! Interesting to see the hotel - which I believe is owned by KoreanAir - encouraging drinking by airline crews....
on my flight from Manila to Incheon there was a foreign pilot as well.
