7700...that's funny...I thought the same....
AncientGreek...A little below the belt, wouldn't you say? All country's airlines CFIT...Not specific to the country or pilot's heritage...I've worked with former Aeroflot pilots and they have excellent standards ala Western pilots...
Then there's the other factor...Flying in the enviornment they do, of course their accident rate is higher...But I've never known them to have "get home itis"
Actually I find the opposite true...Now they can do things they couldn't do during Communist times...namely lay over at the first opportunity...
