True, You can write down your expirience and nobody would
believe it. I had a buddy who told something out of Taiwan and
we thought he is telling bullocks but it was only the surface what
he was talking about. That asian culture is tramendous and the
acceptance to learn from others and there past is nearly non -
existent. It took 5.000 years of human history to get there. It
will take a while until this is acknoledged there and will acceptet
as a fact that humans make errors and they need to be rectified.
Investigations in Asia are not there for prevention, they are there
for punishment. Rememer the Air-law? all regulation are based on
punishment, first they talk about fines and sentences then about
the rules. It is a diffrent world there, it started to change as well
but slowly. Since three years there is a diffrence to see and an
improvement. Today the F/O would shout, to take the controlls
from the LHS to the RHS without be authorized from the Captain?
Difficult in that part of the world. As confuzius system works there:
A older or a higher rank person is allways right!!!. How dare can
the F/O takes the controlls of that person he has to respect and
it is nearly untouchable. One day I heard: The Captain is the King,
how can You start a revolution?.
All those "facts" are not in the report, no journalist would have a
clue what is going on the society in Asia. So how to write an
article then with all the facts? Technical and humans? Difficult I would say. I have still a lot of question how that could happen?,
it is unbelievable but true, it happend but I hope never again!!!.
