Watchdog - If you research the MH FK50 crash in Tawau, Sep 1995 ASN Aircraft accident Fokker 50 9M-MGH Tawau Airport (TWU) resulting in 34 casualties, you will see that
seriously? You think his culture would prefer that they rather crash than force the go-around?
is not unknown in a very similar culture.
The young co-pilot in this event (a very nice and competent young man) did not have to claim passing out, as his excuse - he just died in the crash instead. Yes he was a competent young man, I suggest it was the culture that led to his behaviour on the day.
ps. Ignore the Wiki(sh!t) web content- That is just what someone wants you to think, and doesn't reflect reality.
