I operate with pilots of Far East origin and the problem lies in the culture, something that has developed over 100's of years. Unfortunately this culture conflicts with the modern day flight deck.
What about JAL? Or ANA? Or Asiana? Or Singapore Airlines, or MAS, or Vietnam Airlines? Sure, these airlines had their share of incidents and accidents, but so have Air France, American Airlines, KLM etc.
Is it really a stand alone
Asian culture problem or perhaps more of a
company culture problem with KAL?
Give these guys a break, being new on type, gusty crosswinds (on a FBW Airbus!) on a challenging airport like NRT!
