A training mistake no other pilot would ever make, even in a simulator? Surely the whole point of putting a pilot under training in a simulator is because they will make mistakes, they're expected to make mistakes, learning from mistakes is a part of learning, and they're doing it in a simulator because they need to learn.
If we have a supply of pilots who don't make mistakes as they learn, why do we bother training them at all? Surely we can put these magic trainees straight into the cockpit.
I would question any flight school that not only doesn't care if you ignore standard protocols and checklists clearly spelling out what speed you should be going while landing, but also who's trainer disappears during the most crucial exercises such as landing a plane full of people.
It wasn't just one pilot's error, we have 2 pilots that ignored protocols.
If you want some more Korean pilot hijinx look up Korean Air Lines Flight 769 in 2007 that decided not to land on the runway and instead where they taxi planes. How do you make that mistake: giant landing strip, or tiny strip right beside it obviously not for landing. Hmm I'll land on the tiny strip
