Sorry to be the one to bring this up but....., if you look at all the accidents and incidents of the last decade worldwide......, one g stalls of heavy A/C's, landing on the wrong airports or even taxiways, CFIT, roll off the end of the runway, runway incursion, near miss incidents......, the vast majority have been with western crews at the helm
