Oh, not again - Vietjet

Vietjet did it again, right airport this time, but wrong runway:

Vietnam’s VietJet pilots suspended after landing on wrong runway

Vietnam?s VietJet pilots suspended after landing on wrong runway

The last time, they landed at the wrong airport...

VietJet Air staff suspended for landing mistake | Business | Thanh Nien Daily

Slight improvement?

It baffles me that despite ATC radar service how can they?Careless pilots.......wonder how low training standards at such airlines are....when such incidents are happening time and again.Such incidents go onto their licenses don't they?

Yeah, sure
Every time there is a poll like this, the management sends an email to all employees telling (ordering) them to vote for VJA. Of course they are told to use their private email address and not their company email to fool the system. They even supply the answers the employees are asked to submit..
I don't know how many people vote for these kind of polls in total, but the results may very well be skewed with this practice.

Wow, skygods of the west never mess up! Gee, what about the Boeing lifter which landed at the wrong airport? The Delta blokes who landed on the taxiway?

Very quick to pick on poor blokes from poor countries but easy to miss the elephant right in front of your eyes...or some crappy cliches that sounded like that!

At leat the Vietnamese do not come onboard and give all kinds of excuses on the countrymen's behalf. 3/4 of ppruners would have become bellicose apologists for their fellow skygods...remember BA crunch at Jo' burg. I can't believe the excuses and bs that abound after that demolition job!

Guys, do copy and save this post. It ain't gonna last long here!

except that VJ has only 15 planes or so and made 2 big mistake in a short period of time.
what will be with 90 planes (as they ordered )
And one more thing : there is no skygod west or east...many of us are expat and fly in asia etc. Sky is everywhere now...no excuses about west, east or center.
Nowadays mistakes in asia are done by occidents pilots too.

It's nonsense to compare with them no ?
I mean, Malaysian, it was not really their own fault...one we do'nt really know yet, and the second one, they got shoot.
VJ, I know how they operate....so I am just not surprised. I don't talk about others as I never flown with them.
FYI, Malaysian airline has about 90 planes.
As I said, compared to the size of the fleet of VJ and their incidents in short period of time, mathematically it is quite a big ratio.
