Was just referring to the news article in which it led you to believe that mostly Asian cockpit crew.

They forgot to mention the majority from the west and a few from Australia.
But the news never gets it correct anyway.
Maybe a problem from the source.
Yes I do agree pressure from management is a really controlling factor, it seems some charters have adopted this way of life and it is getting worse by the day.
It seems that if you complain too much about operating against the regs there is always some low timer ready to step in and take your place.
Seen this happen too many times.
