Come on A squared. The allegation is that the Koreans were sledged almost immediately for stacking their aircraft because they were incompetent where there has been no such hint of that about the Birmingham prang.

In your mind these accidents are essentially equivalent?
Err, yes they are. Without prejudging the causes, both crews were put in, or put themselves in, situations that they messed up big-time. While you try to differentiate between the two, a simple old LOC approach to an MDA then a PAPI should have been a walk in the park for a well-trained, current domestic USA freight crew just like a nice-day visual on to SFO 28L should also have been a walk in the park. Neither ended up that way. Teldor's point is that the sledging has been one-way so far.
