I'm not really sure how you got lost in a pretty basic question, so I'll ask it again, this time really specifically: what airlines are you NOT afraid to fly on? Names and countries, please. Thanks in advance.
With respect to this thread, I think you're making a bit too much science out of this. If you're asking me to agree that while in severe windshear, within a spitshot of the ground is a good time to whip out the QRH, I'm afraid I can't agree to that. It IS, however, a real good time to just fly the airplane, regardless of whether it's a -200, -236A, -939Q or the Concorde. In any event, this crew did neither. They didn't follow the FCOM (ostensibly because they didn't have one), nor did they just fly the airplane (you can say they tried kinda/sorta, but not really). By the same token, if you needed this accident or this report to get the idea that second- and third-tier operators in a place like Pakistan might have poor operational and/or training standards (if they have any at all), I don't know what to tell you. I don't think it was a secret. If it was, well, now you know, and knowledge, as you said yourself, is power.
