I allow myself to repudiate some discriminatory comments regarding the Latin American culture and its pilots. It is not only outrageous from the human point of view, but also quite hypocritical. In my humble opinion, those who argue that the cause of this disaster lies in a mere question of customs, not only have a tunnel vision, but also seem to forget the huge number of accidents that have occurred in "civilized countries"; Accidents that after being analyzed turned out to have been caused by the greed of those who hold the economic power. Lack of training, lack of maintenance, pressure at work, to name some of the causes. I fully agree that this accident (according to what is known so far), is a crime that should be punished with all the force of the law, but it does not justify in any way to put all the Latin American pilots in the same bag.
