it just may help to explain how one plane lands and another crashes while facing the same set of issues.
If I understood the report correctly in one case someone had the reflex to cut out the Stab Trim switches ,and in the second case not.

Lion air is a low cost airline run like a local business in an unregulated country. Anyone who has seen the way Indonesians interpret the road traffic rules will understand what I mean .
But Indonesia is not unique . There are lots of countries out there where dispatching a car, a motorbike or an aircraft with minor defects is not an issue , not dispatching it is one and could eventually lead to someone losing its job.

Is that how most here see it?
Salute, Yes a very good summary I would say ..
