...."ultra high standards."

Until you come here and see it for yourself you would not believe how far off the mark that statement is.

If you think you're coming to anything approximating Western aviation thinking you'll be sadly disappointed, the thinking is the same as for the society in general:
- rote learning
- not questioning statements from superiors or bureaucrats, blind acceptance
- respect for managment based on age only, not age AND ability
- operating in a robotic/rote fashion.

There's more of course however as a small example: CRM is defined as the ability to sit down and on a piece of paper re-construct the "graph" of what makes up CRM, if you can do that then you obviously HAVE CRM.

The ability to take the theory (rote) and try to make it work in the cockpit is a very, very secondary consideration.

Being generous: they think and do things....differently, your success or otherwise will be based on your ability to blindly accept what they say, offer respect to age regardless of ability and operate aircraft in a way that is (also being generous) extremely conservative.
