These acci!dents happened at a time when the industry is still a limp to try to tell the world that Nepali airline companies are safe. Among the brave pilots that we have lost in those accidents I remember Captain Paras, as a pilot was an excellent safety record.
Captain Colonel Kailash Gurung was known as an emotional and experienced Captain Dinesh when he succeeded in saving his passengers. Captain Roshan Manandhar was one of the best with more than 20,000 hours of flight experience, I knew him since 2012 as my simulator training.
While the shedding tears went away, I recalled Malcolm Gladwell's famous book, Outliers: the story of success, in which the author's talk of crashes with experienced captains and the comparatively unexperienced first officer and a brand new aircraft with similar equipment Recent air crashes in Nepal. He points out how Korean Aviation suffered due to high power distance index (PDI) in the cockpit. I believe that to some extent, this may be very well in the cause of air acci!dents in Nepal.
Power Distance is a psychological state where there is difference in figures of authority. High power distance index means you will have everybody in a particular place in hierarchy of power. You will expect the power to be unequally divided, just like in cultures like in Nepal. It is not our culture to question a superior authority. This particular tradition is seen in offices, families, schools, and security agencies and in every society of our society.
