It is an easy approach, especially with an FMS, and if it were Ozzies involved, an incident like this would embarrass the hell out of the operator and it would lift it's game pronto. But the reality is that we have no control over international operators and if one of their aircraft pranged in such a situation we'd be a laughing stock. Catering for the lowest denominator? I suppose. But that's what we are doing ourselves, introducing easier/safer approaches eg GPS NPA and RNP. It's all relative.
