There are a few countries in this world who do something similar in the realm of military hardware. They purchase some pretty good kit but their training methods don't prepare their operators on how to use them. The results in that case become obvious in a rather grim manner. I had never thought to apply the analogy to air transport ... but am disturbed to see that this might be the case.
