Skimmed through it... It's essentially an anti-China rant by a special sunflower who doesn't know how the world works.
On one hand everything he says is true, on the other hand it's not that bad.


FWIW, I know about some expat contract pilots for Air China (whiteys) and they love it. They're treated well and paid well. "Better than Korean", apparently.

One skipper told me his first day on the job, the chief purser comes into the flight deck and puts a stack of 100s on the console.
As soon as the aircraft doors close, people pay the flight attendants cash to get upgraded. The money is divvied up evenly between the crew.
When they reach top of climb, the cigarettes light up.

When I lived in qingdao in like 2011 as a student, I fell through the sidewalk once. It was a dark but not empty street and while walking I felt the floor give way and I fell right down. I took out my phone to use as a flashlight to see what the gently caress happened and apparently I walked on a thin piece of plywood that was covering a hole in the sidewalk used to house pipes and junk. The hole was probably just under 2m deep and I was having some trouble pulling myself out (I'm a shorty). I called for help in Chinese and everyone just looked at me and ignored me until an old lady came over and asked why i was down a hole. I said I fell down. She said that's not good and started guilt tripping some younger dudes to help me out. It was actually the inverse of that vid where the guy was saying Chinese people are too culture, she was saying how young people today are uncultured.

They helped me up. I was pretty dirty but only had some bruises since I fell on my feet on the pipes which was p lucky. Probably could have been a lot worse.

That's my China bad infrastructure story.

I have not fallen through a sidewalk but I regularly see holes where the sidewalk has collapsed, and manhole covers are frequently caved in. I also saw a dump truck fall through a street that was clearly marked NO TRUCKS so it was his fault.

I think "Delta-minus" is from Brave New World.

The author of that 400-page rant is pretty racist and has a huge chip on his shoulders. But as an US trained-and-licensed pilot, I can totally see how Chinese culture (and probably all Confucius-influenced East Asian cultures) is just not that compatible with the safe operation of aircraft. It's too rigid in certain ways (way too much emphasis on arbitrary metrics, CRM is a joke) and too flexible in others (rules are easily ignored if you are high ranking enough/have connections, lax regulations, employees have little/no power).

Air China is the only carrier I would fly in China, and even then I much rather fly Cathay, Dragonair, etc. Of course US airlines are probably the best (for safety). United's recent SFO-CTU flight has been a god send.

Chengdu to SF would be awesome for me but I don't know if it's worth 15 hours on a United flight. I still might rather lose a few hours in transfers go to Shanghai or HK first and grab Cathay or something. I've had nothing but the worst experiences ever on United flights.

I flew Air Hainan from Guilin to Beijing two days ago. It was a terrible flight, left 5 hours late, the stewardess insisted I turn off my airplane mode phone (but ignored the other dude next to me doing the same thing) and the whole time this weird orchestral music like out of a bad movie trailer was on loop in the cabin.

I am ready to believe anything that guy says about Chinese airlines.

I know the SFO-TPE flight is great compared to what I was doing before when I would go back home (EWR-NRT-TPE). Newer plane, better service, but I only fly Economy Plus on that leg. I do have to suffer in the domestic flight to SFO and that is hell on earth every time.

No man that was the best long distance flight I've ever had. The 787 is a great comfortable plane and having AC power at your seat with a laptop makes the 96 hours go by much more pleasantly.

Korean Airlines used to have a horrific safety record because all of the staff were culturally required to be totally obsequent to the pilot, including the co-pilot, giving the airplane an obvious and glaring single point of failure. It didn't help that Korean machismo prevented a tired pilot from not flying a plane or from delegating any decisions because by God he was the man of this sky house and he makes the decisions. The retraining of pilots in a way that made checking the pilot's decisions possible on Korean Air is the default example of how you can "change company culture" among business homos, who lien this kind of common sense intervention to a malaria vaccine or human space flight because how high can your mind soar on the wings of a penguin?

Anyway, it fixed their safety problems almost overnight and brought them in line with western flagship carriers.

Last time it came up someone started ranting about cultural racism or whatever nonsense but the drastic overhaul and changes seem to be pretty concrete evidence that the Korean cultural attitudes were a major cause to the 16 crashes over 2 decades.

It also led to this gem.

these own:

13 June 1991 – (Boeing 727) from Jeju to Daegu, the aircraft performed an unexpected gear-up landing at Daegu. The crew failed to read out the landing procedure checklist and therefore didn't select the gear down option. Subsequent investigation revealed that the pilot instructed the co-pilot to pull the fuse from the warning system because the repeated warnings that the landing gear was not deployed were, "irritating and distracting," him as he attempted to land. With the warning horn disabled, the Korean pilot brought the plane in and slid down the length of the runway on the central structural rib in the belly of the aircraft. Damage: Substantial Injuries: 0 Deaths: 0 Airframe: Written Off[15]

hmmm, this sounds fascinating. do you think it's also possible to come up with a college admission system that's not a competition about who can memorize the most 16th century Scottish words? i'm not sure, on one hand the goukou is the worst possible system I can imagine, but it is also 5000 years old. it must be really good to survive that long and Chinese students are the best in the world after all.
