seriously? You think his culture would prefer that they rather crash than force the go-around?
Absolutely! And that's probably the main reason why I resist flying Asian airlines. Not because they're not capable; in many cases, they can fly the box the thing came in, but because even today CRM is an audit only procedure.
The same mentality allowed a JAL DC8 captain to attempt a take-off while so intoxicated he had to be assisted aboard the aircraft.
When the time came and he insisted on doing the take-off, no crewmember could overcome the cultural barrier to bring a stop to the proceedings.
Result ? Aircraft rolled shortly after becoming airborne and liberated the ground beneath killing ALL on board.
Has the culture changed ?...it would appear not.
