> The airline industry in some countries may have that culture. In some countries it may not. Sure, there is variation. One fairly good indication of countries that have a bad incident investigation culture are those that have airlines banned from flying in the EU. I'd like to point out a difference in your example though. South Korea did have some problems with crew resource management, because of the culture of seniority. A lot of effort has been spent on solving that problem. However, that is a separate issue to the idea that incidents are brushed under the carpet. That's a different culture problem. Both are bad.
