Funnily enough, I don't see it as a bad can of worms. Realise that it is impossible to train perfect, flawless pilots. Impossible.

What I am grateful for is the honest people that came out with this story even if it tarnishes the good reputation some MAS pilots have. But hey, reputation is just reputation. It is a perception. It's a general characteristic or trait ascribed to a person derived from another person or a community's opinion. People are not perfect and are emotional when assigning reputation.

One AK junior S/O did a hard landing in KUL and people's jumping and crying AK's unsafe and all that. No one commented anything here all this while when senior MH pilots did the same thing some time back? Why is that? Now that's a bit double standard coming from well-trained, well paid and well rested world class pilots.
