When I read the public details for this flight, one of the first thoughts was "This is like AF447 in the sense of a crash happening under conditions that cannot be in any way unique". And so I'm wondering if this is like regional carriers and the situation leading up to the Buffalo crash where we found out things like pilots "sleeping" in bizarre places due to work conditions. It just makes me wonder if the details of operation of SE Asian airlines are in a process of deterioration, and a series of mishaps in very few months are like the symptoms of a sick industry. I know in recent years there has been a lot of companies jumping into international travel, and the results could be some sort of cutting of corners that aren't know till tragedies happen. Sort of like when Air Alaska was writing up false maintenance documents. When easy money permits companies to be born in the hands of inexperienced owners (something that happens in every industry), the price being paid isn't ever obvious at first. There might even be connivance with people in the local governments.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if down the line a "story behind the story" will come out that shows the public, even the industry watchers, don't know all that is going on.
