Don’t fly with any Asian pilots. At best, they seem to be totally incompetent.

I’m beginning to think that the plane cracked up as posted here by others.

Culturally, they seem to lack the sang-froid you find in American and British (especially ex-military) pilots. When a crisis occurs and they have to start actually flying the plane, they seem to blank out. They are technicians rather than aviators, trained very well to perform specified tasks within certain parameters, able to handle crises in flight simulators well enough, but they often seem to get lost in their pre-programmed routine when a normal flight suddenly goes haywire.
