Honestly, I think you're looking for intent that wasn't there. The OP posted a verbatim quote, and one that demonstrated the foolishness of the pilots' cockiness. If the pilots had been westerners, they might have said 'oh god, oh god!' instead - if they had, I doubt you would have made your comment, so you might want to consider if your own biases/prejudices came into play here (I really don't mean that as an attack; I genuinely think it's good to be introspective on these things sometimes, and consider if our own internal biases are at work).
