What an asinine and irrelevant comment drfaust. The tragedy that occurred in 1977 (34 years ago) brought about a revolution in all practices within that airline. Since that time that mainline airline has not had a fatality. The list of accidents for THY in the past 34 years makes for very sad reading, and sadly there are many airlines (some considered very reputable) that can be put on that same list.
In relation to the THY accident in Amsterdam the very legitimate question can be asked: what lesson is this airline taking away from it? They have had enough accidents to make one wonder how many will it take?
THY is the fastest growing airlines in the region, and that brings with it many challenges. The former and current pilots that have sought publicity are concerned enough (some undoubtedly care enough, and some probably have other motives) to try and bring about an environment that allows this growth to occur safely. If the end result helps to provide an impetus to this very necessary change it will be a good thing.
