There's a big difference, though, between agreeing that cultural norms COULD affect CRM and reaching the conclusion that they were primarily, or even significantly, to blame in THIS particular case.
I have a Samsung phone and Bulgogi is my FAVORITE. Not Korean though. =)
I can attest to that an a small way. Once a co-worker had a heart attack. I started CPR and got one colleague to call 911, the other to call the first-responders (first-aid experts in our company). When the first-responders came, I handed off to them, they handed off to the ambulance a minute later when they arrived. It seemed like forever to me but I was astounded to find that, from start to when the ambulance left with the patient, the elapsed time was only 15 minutes! It felt like hours to me.
It wasn't a race issue at all but rather one of US cultural norms. But you seem to know that....
....and then you mindlessly go and dig the hole a little deeper.
Thankfully, the cultural soup that makes up the United States is what makes the United States so great. I grew up in the Northeast and went to College in the deep south, and did my training in the mid Atlantic areas, and was in the Air Force in the Southwest and Midwest, and can tell you that the cultural norms and behavior differ from one area to another. For that matter it can differ from one household to another household. The term American(which to some of my friends who are not from the US but other countries in the western hemisphere is "racist" in that it commonly refers to the US and none of the countries that make up the western hemisphere) refers to many different cultural "norms", behaviors, backgrounds, and upbringing.
I wonder if Jeff Foxworthy, a self proclaimed "redneck" and comedian is being racist in his "you might be a redneck" routine.

I think you have insulted all of us idiots in the world as even we cannot be that stupid.
It's Korea....those dudes could easily end up in jail after this.
I guess my point that she is working while on unemployment(which she should have not even gotten because she abandoned her job and was not fired) albeit as a liscensed massage therapist was lost in my rant. When I found out she was working I called unemployment to tell them and they could care less and would not even investigate it despite me offering them proof including a number of her clients who told me about her job and told me they would testify that she was working.
No, it's saying that these individuals f'ed up in large part because of the culture in which they were (presumably) raised. Whatever we know about the culture in general terms, to apply it to individuals you don't know (and don't really know the extent to which their experience is typical of people in that society) seems to require a pretty big assumption.
Exactly, we are still looking for the results of the FDR and CVR analysis. It's pretty clear from the statements released today that bad airmanship on at least the IP's part played a big role here.
Only if you're talking about the other two in the jumpseats, and I haven't seen ANY evidence to this point about what they specifically did or didn't do. For all we know, they might have been asleep.
Luckily he was denied.
I had one I let resign instead of firing him for theft, I got his unemployment claim last week!
.True so true. For the one I discussed before, we had a hearing, over the telephone. She had herself as a witness, I had myself, my office manager, my professional staff, and five or six of her coemployees. Despite all the evidence to the contrary including the fact that we had to mail her belongings to her after she stopped showing up for work, my routine of giving fired personal two weeks of severence pay, and a host of other evidence showing she had abandoned her job, the unemployment person felt we were less believable. Afterwards I found out this is pretty much the normal routine, as Fl has figured out that if they keep them on the unemployment rolls they stay off of welfare, and unemployment is business supported and the amount the employer pays is a rising percentage of your gross payroll dependent on the number of unemployment claims against you found in favor of the employee. Socialism supported by capitalism.I had one "retire" and claim unemployment! He came around and told everyone goodbye and everything, then asked me if we could let him go! I told him no, we really needed him to work! Of course I was glad to get rid of him, but I didn't fire him! Anyway, we had to spend 2 days in hearings to get him denied, he was in his early 70's and figured he could supplement his SS with unemployment for 2 years!

The system is rigged towards the lazy and corrupt!
Just wondering what unemployment policy in Florida has to do with a botched 777 landing in California. My fault. So sorry. You are right and sorry for the thread hijack, but post 498 got me going.
