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.
