I grew up in Korea and know very well of the culture in Korean society. It's basically a military hierarchy with people older than you, automatically being at a higher position in society. You do not question, it's considered "rude". Having lived outside of Korea, I can completely understand the possibility that Korean culture plays a role in job areas where teamwork and hierarchial culture clash with common sense and the ability to express it freely without social barriers or repercussions. I see a lot of fellow Koreans defending that culture is not responsible for producing incompetent pilots but based on what I've read, from that officer who have trained Korean pilots and have witnessed a near 90% failure rate on the flight simulation involving manual airplane control, I'd have to say I'm pretty fucking worried. It's totally unfair to cry "STEREOTYPING!" or "THATS RACIST". I really don't give a flying shit, you are not changing the culture (or more like can't change it because it's considered an essential core identity of Korean culture) that produces shitty pilots, you are not flying my plane. It would be fine if Asiana just accept it and try to change the root problem which is the hierarchial social barrier present in Korean culture clearly incompatible in this particular industry of flying airplanes where teamwork and ability to express one's opinion and observations without fear of repercussion or coming across as rude and losing face. For now, if it's Asiana or KAL, I am not fucking getting on that plane. It's one thing to be proud of our culture but it takes a bigger courage to accept that not all of it is compatible with new technological jobs, and finally fix it.
