While not trying to minimize the responsibilities that we all have individually, this company is notoriously deficient when recognizing its own responsibility and whenever possible, tries to simply fob off any issues as individual issues rather than identifying root causes and addressing them as such. Jo'burg is an excellent case in point. While it is tempting to simply point to a trainer teaching an incorrect technique, where was the standardization and quality control of the trainers that was the company's responsibility and where was the acknowledgement of such? The 340-300 was introduced in a rush of commercial pressure with little or no training (the takeoff in Jo'burg was the first time either crew had actually flown the type I believe) and it was at least 6 more years before the training department even made an effort to standardize their instructors.
