China airplane crash...again

For a while, I have not watched on the news or read in the newspapers anything about the Chinese airplane crash. I know it's been about a month since the tragedy, but I was expecting that media would give at least a last update before "closing the case." If one googles the news, no results show updated information. The last reports date August 26 or (if your lucky) August 28. The only newspaper covering the story is an Asian newspaper.

On their latest article, it is reported that investigation dealing with the airplane crash has come up with a new issue affecting the airline. Apparently, due to the recent rapid grow of the airline traffic and subsequent demand for pilots, many pilots lied about their qulification on their resumes. "Some of hte pilots changed their jobs many times, and they constantly distorted their resumes," a CAAC cited report said. "Some of them were former mlitary pilots and became civil pilots."

I really don't see how Henan airlines will recover from this one. More and more issues keep popping out and none of them have been addressed directly by the company. They're not taking any steps toward the cleansed of their name. The only steps they're taking is to an unrecoverable debacle. Perhaps a change of name would be suitable in this instance.
