My understanding of what went wrong has nothing to do with the race of the pilots.
The San Francisco airport's 'glide path' apparatus was switched off for some maintenance so the pilots had to rely on a visual assessment of a glide path after a long and tiring non-stop flight from Seoul and got it wrong.
Unlike for truck drivers, there are no Rest Stops at 33,000 feet to allow over-worked pilots to recover from sleep deprivation.
Aussie pilots have a union to take on greedy airlines like Qantas but I don't know if Korean pilots have a union to stick up for them.
But whichever way the enquiry goes, the management is ultimately responsible for how an airline performs in the air. Sadly, management rarely sees itself as responsible and blames pilots and-or equipment for failures.
