About what I would expect from a plane made by euro-nannies. Can’t allow a pilot to fly the plane.

I don’t have a lot of confidence in Asian pilots either (if that was in fact who was flying the plane). I have heard that they have trouble thinking outside of the operations manual in an emergency.

Yeah, just ask the pilots of the Asiana flight that crashed at SFO. The local TV station listed them as HO LEE FUK, WEE TU LO, SUM TING WONG, and BANG DING OU.

That’s not a uniquely Asian thing. There’s apparently a lot of that going around.

Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.
