It seems we got a short version during our CRM training
about KAL and not all the facts. Thanks for the info.
Yes it is human nature, I agree with you there. My point is
mainly that some people in aviation think everything works
nicely via seniority,procedures etc. and that politics are never
involved. Regardless of company,culture or country I think politics
are always involved.Or do I sound to paranoid now??

Is total time always the best way to determine capability?
Naturally, i understand the logic, but take the example of the newly qualified comm pilot (i.e. a 250 hour guy) who apparently is statistically more accident prone than a 50 hour PPL (due, i assume, to an increase in the blase factor).
Maybe there is the odd guy who is actually worthy of the post, despite his or her comparatively low total time, and what we in fact have in hand is not a corrupt but a progressive airline?

You sound down to earth and not paranoid A/P Disc......
You are right that most of the people believe that all is nice and
shiny at the frontline......
... and behind closed doors politics is involved and some strings
are pulled and the muppets on the front are moving, everywhere
in that world, no doubt about that.

You gottas have 6000 hours to qualify for wide body captain.
you also need to have the seniority.
You do not have to kiss anyone's okole except yours if you mess up your checkride.
If you look up Honeywell's EGPWS RAAS feature, you will realize how naive you can get about Airport RW/Taxiway incursions.
