Be fair to Turkish Aviation

Turkey, as with most Far East states, all Arabic countries, and all African nations plus the South and Central American countries, suffer from the same malaise of "Captain knows everything, do not interfere". A dangerous but prevalent non-CRM culture. Alitalia had accidents in the 90's relating to this problem as did Swissair.

So it is not fair to pick on the Turks alone. Turkey is a backward but developing country, and is doing its best to catch up with Europe, in aviation terms at least.
