This 'culture' problem has been thrashedabout for years. If memory is correct did not Delta's training & safetydepartment go into Korean years ago to try and sort it out? I thought they hadsome modicum of success, at first.
In this case it appears to be a CRM and intrument scan problem.
The Delta audit was with Korean Air, not Asiana. Since then Korean Air has had a good safety record - kind of detracts from the theory that it is a culture problem. Culture may be a contributory factor, like the FLCH "issue", but not the cause. It can be corrected with good training.
