Have you heard about capt L _ _ g's hard landing during fo's training...exceeded 2.4G's...whilst VAC's limit's are set at 2.1G's. No penalty, No reprimand, No issues, No rumors....hahaha.......Just so you know....he's the chief pilot...
Air Vietnam pilots never do any wrong. 90% of incidents at Vietnam Airlines caused by the expat pilots. They tell you this during initial and recurrent ground school (The same place where they tell you that you need good altimeters for RMP)
The other 10% are acts of god (at least thats what the local hero said over the last incident in Korea…."that flight not flown by pilots…the god saved them…"
Some history…. A320 chief pilot hard landings, A320 instructor declares mayday over FUNCTIONING auto-thrust (chien) , Vice President hits runway lights when landing in crosswind , A320 Captain nearly hit terrain in Korea, A330 captain allows F/O to hit runway approach lights during landing; A330 TRE captain unstable in DAD; both VN pilots sleeping during flight when intercepted by military; VN pilots have heavy turbulence with injuries but continue flight for 10 more hours; VN pilots in prison for theft in japan, money laundering in Australia, etc, etc.
But Expats cause 90% of incidents!!!
I know this individual well & he is a very good Pilot & one of "Nature's Gentlemen".
Have flown with him on several occasions mate. He is -- standard -- at the best of time.
