I did a Transport ground instructor's course with a group of Chinese PLA fighter pilots several years ago. What surprised me was their mentality that if they had a malfunction, whatever it was, they would just turn around and fly home and have somebody else deal with it. Which is well and good, except for those type of malfunctions where pilots need to do pilot stuff here and now. Like what we saw in that video called for.
