Asian pilots
Correct Silver. Some people groups, like Asian and Arab are notorious for having favourite sons (not daughters) shuffled through training and onto the line. The low competence levels exist in about 20-25% of locals, which is 20-25% too many for safety. Africa can be worse. These people end up with commands, which is when things become dangerous. This system does not function in Westernized nations.

(You can exclude the Japs from this generalization but a whole host of ME and Far East companies spring to mind. Just ask any Western trainer and you will learn this.)

This is not a racist comment; distinguishing different groups of people by their abilities or lack of is not racism. Air safety should never be politically correct.
Don't make me laugh! Can you verify this nonsense? If this is not racist than nothing is! I only hope this poster is an airchair ranter as the last thing I would want to do is fly with a headcase like this! Totally irrelevant to this thread in any case.
