So true, it certainly will under the same circumstances, even if admonished a thousand times... (visions of Basil Fawlty, Austin 1100 and a large branch come to mind )

FOQA ? Do Turkish operate such a scheme... sure it would have been mentioned * This would be one way of picking up continual approach busts, poor monitoring as well as that RA persistent failure.

If not, should ? now be thinking along the lines of enforcing such schemes in at least all European airlines above a certain size?

if there are 'cultural problem' airlines, would it not help get around that, the challenge coming from management or more dispassionate QA analysts with a stronger mandate (OK, I'll get shot for suggesting FO, SO hasn't the 'strongest mandate', so bullet proof vest on, but YUKWIM)

*YES, I've read every post, at some point
