| Jun 1, 2015 at 23:04 | comment | added | paul | @DavidRicherby That's why I said "certain asian airlines" and not "asian airlines". I wonder what your reaction would have been if I said "certain european airlines". | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 14:55 | comment | added | David Richerby | @paul OK. But, as you say, they just happen to be located in Asia. Saying they're Asian doesn't identify them and their ethnic origin isn't relevant to their preference for autoland. Using the word "Asian" as the only description makes it look like you're talking about Asian airlines in general so it's best avoided. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 13:14 | comment | added | paul | @DavidRicherby in case you have been living under a rock recently, I'm referring to Asiana's preference for autoland rather than proper training. If your pilots can't fly a visual on a clear day then something's wrong. It's a corporate attitude, and they just happen to be located in Asia. And BTW I happen to live in Asia. I also happen to be married to an Asian. | |

| Jun 1, 2015 at 6:57 | comment | added | David Richerby | Also, -1 for the racist reference to "certain asian airlines". | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 6:55 | comment | added | David Richerby | "The other answer" which one? There are now three other answers and there may well be more by the time you read this. | |
