The newspaper shows the beginning of an arrogant attitude mainly to foreigners as said here. I also see it from a different angle. This is the reflection of a rapid growth in the so called "hot economies" like India and China among few others, where the local CivAirs and local airlines (training & safety) will not follow the appropriate steps to ensure safety (FIRST) . Also, the commercial pressure from the "mini-managers" will most likely override their own safety departments and sometimes fleet managers, and where the buck will have to stop with the operating crews and their flight dispatchers if these aren't in anyway afraid of losing their jobs for "undesirable" decisions... Interesting times ahead... More multicultural impartial and responsible auditors/inspectors NOW please because flying nowadays is so multicultural... i.e. German, Nigerian, Zambian, Bolivian, Romanian, etc..
