An ironic way to end your rant.
I haven’t picked up on the race word too much to be fair. Might have missed it though. Point me! Many commentators have mentioned AF447 as almost same inability to fly basic modes when it all turns sour. Asiana too. And many others like that. But it is true that in the last ten years most serious accidents to passenger airlines were in three regions of the world. And only a few were in USA Europe. German Wings Turkish AMS. Others? But not many. I think it’s fact rather than racial prejudice. 200 airlines are banned from flying in EU. Many were/are in former USSR, Indonesia and Africa. Lionair was not, at the time of the crash, on the list. Point is that not all airlines are the same.
Some are way above the minimum requirements to obtain an AOC. Most are somewhere well above the red line. 200 or so are not . Unless one believes the EU. is prejudiced along racial lines.
just trying to get a balance on this racial card.
