"Tombstone" agency splitting hairs again

No, to ignore actual difference is dangerous. Case in
point, several years ago an airliner with a 100 passengers
crashed on Long Island. There were many survivors since
there was no fire fire. No fuel remained on the airplane
which had held over the ocean because the pilots did not
seek emergency handling, even though they knew they were
running out of fuel. They also knew that the NYC area had
bad weather and long delays but they did not divert and land
at the dozens of airports from Miami to NYC and New
England. This was clearly a machismo thing.

I isn't about race, skin color or even religion. It is
about culture. If you don't understand the difference, take
a few courses.

This was clearly a machismo thing.

Was it?

Could it also have been a timidity thing? In this country, the pilot(s)
in command has the absolute final say on what goes on in the plane.
It's even written into the FARs. This might not be true in the other
countries. For example (I know, not a parallel), I'm told by pilots who
once flew there that in Mexico, flights have to be dispatched by a
military commander.

These kinds of differences will manifest themselves in training and
attitude in the cockpit. They may have simply been "afraid of the
anticipated mountain of paperwork" not realizing (deep down) that
nothing like that would occur in this country for declaring an emergency
and doing whatever was necessary to meet the emergency.

That would be the opposite of machismo.

Not everything can be blamed on culture.

An individual's approach to life is reflected in their philosophy.

For groups, it their culture.

Just as some individuals prosper, live well, etc., and some aren't worth the
gallon of gas it would take to blow them up, the same holds for a culture.

I leave it to you all to figure out the characteristics.

Maybe even Spanish. And how much Spanish culture is Arab?
This could go on a long time.

Our Puritan culture makes nudity very double-edged. On one
hand women's breast are to be covered and on the other, they
are objects of great interest. In other parts of the world
breasts are not an issue.

Philosophy and culture are not the be-all and end-all you make it seem.
What makes people =individual= is how they differ from each other, and
from whatever cultural stereotypes you measure by. The Columbian
airliner was flown by an individual, not by a culture.

No, I used one example with which I was familiar (Mexican Law) to
illustrate that something that looks like machismo could actually be its
opposite, and also to illustrate that what looks like culture may
actually be something else (legality).

The incident in question did not involve (AFAIK) Mexican pilots, they
were from a different country.
