The key here is, did the airline fly the aircraft after they knew it had had the hard landing under discussion?
The question is not about someone's skill or stage of learning. Nor is this an A vs B matter.
This is a question as to whether there was an intentional decision on the part of SATA management to fly an aircraft they knew had far exceeded an airframe loads limit and it is a question about the justifications for such a management decision under, we must assume, an SMS-type safety reporting process.
It is the data and the report, when/if available, that will verify that this happened, not anectdotal comments. Trying to turn this into a slagging or an A vs B argument is simply unprofessional.
