I think that the ICAO was at fault in that incident.....At that time there was no ruling that whom should pilot obey - TCAS or The controller.....Such incident happened in japan just weeks before this incident. ICAO didn't do anything about it... They just sat and were waiting untill there's a crash....
Russian obeyed the controller.....There would be many pilots who would hav opted for that given the circumstances.....
And mate how many airlines in africa are certified by FAA or JAA....Only one airline by FAA....Thats a continent which is politically unstable. No rules and regulations......Thabo Mbeki, Robert Mugabe......African continent is ruined...it's going into pieces....Even UN agrees to that....The literacy rate is well below any other continent.....The life expectancy is just 21....So how can u compare india with that nation....Or it just tells our situation that thats what we can compare to......Thats what our own level is.....
