The culture of aviation?


Yes. Different countries have demonstrably different attitudes towards
aviation safety, with some being far more cavalier about it than others. Some
place longstanding cultural standards of interaction among persons of
different rank above safety in priority; CRM tends to be difficult to improve
in such cultures.

An incompetent English pilot would be a symptom of Turkish incompetence?


Multiple incompetent pilots are a sure sign of a problem with the airline or
(if it affects multiple airlines) with the culture in which the airline
operates.
