Ok...i scanned through the thread. Bu there are as many saying that THY has a good safety culture as people saying that a go around is never an option at THY. Some say that they ignore flight safety and some say that over 100 ramp inspections have benn done and all were ok.
Also I have read that they have skilled pilots coming from military/air force and some other say that this is why a captain is never questioned due to the hierarchy (is that the right word in english?)
I bet all these discussions would be an issue what ever airline would be involved in a crash. In such a discussion it's a must to look to every possible cause to the accident. So naturally, the skill of the crew/pilots are always questioned. Dont you agree?
