I know that lack of CRM plays a big part in all parts of the aviation world but, having spent some 10+ years training in airlines in SE Asia, may I say that culture and loss of face have no equals in shaping the behaviour of crews in this part of the world. And this is despite some real committments by some local airlines to CRM training.
A previous post compared the first officer's possibility of taking control from the captain to raping the latter's wife - you better believe it!
Egypt Air 990 and SilkAir 185 remain amongst the extreme results of "loss of face."
