Some of the first public comments from the Asiana pilots and management after the SFO crash. Lee Kang Kuk, a veteran pilot : Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking. Capt. Lee Jung-min: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. Asiana Chief Executive Yoon Young-doo: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Asiana spokesperson Lee Hyomin: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines
Command Pilot (Left Seat) had only 48 Hours in type, and it was his first trip into SFO..... Instructor Pilot (Right Seat) was on his First Instruction Flight, as an Instructor..... Backup Pilot (Jump Seat) was just sitting there.... 1st Officer (Rear Cockpit Seat) wasn't on duty..... What could possibly go wrong......... Duh, do they have Blonds in Korea?
The pilot and autopilot had a disagreement. One wanted to take off, the other wanted to land. As chance has it, there can only be one victor.
