In the interest of full disclosure. The other local airline being referred to is Transasia. Had 2 fatal accidents within 6 months. After the second when they crashed into the Keelung River, all Pilots were required to undergo a SIM assessment. 10 failed the oral part and didn't even get into the SIM. 19 didn't turn up for various reasons. (3 different news sources quote these figures). I can't find the actual number of pilots that failed in the SIM, so wont quote a figure here.
One would seriously have to question the oversight of the regulator, the CAA for allowing such standards to flourish. These standards are on display again with their National carrier.
Lets see what the CAA do when presented with evidence of unsafe maintanence practises by the airline over the next few weeks.
