Grand Fromage posted:Chinese security stuff is so bad that the last time I was through the US I actually thought about how nice, professional, and efficient the TSA is in comparison. That's a wider thing but seeing the guards in body armor and their little plastic helmets and riot shields on Fridays when the kids are leaving school always makes me laugh. This, but the opposite.

I'd rather deal with a million lazy security guards who aren't being paid enough to care than deal with the TSA, which is lucky because that's exactly what I get by living in China.

Grand Fromage posted:I expect a lot of the nouveau riche here are going to lose their money. There is no old money in China because of the revolution, so every fortune began with the privatization of property in the late 90s. People got lucky and managed to get control of their work unit housing, then when the market happened suddenly they had a bunch of property worth a bunch of money and hey, I'm rich now. In China, owning property is still considered the only real investment/form of wealth by most people. There have since been web entrepreneurs and stuff but the money all started with real estate. China has a gigantic real estate bubble which will trash an obscene amount of wealth when it goes. I don't see hope for you.

Seems like if you wanted to figure out which country's airlines are more dangerous you should be looking up statistics instead of reading a book by a pilot

Like I just spent about 15 minutes looking up stuff on Google and it looks like Chinese airlines have been safer than Korean ones in the past 20 years, but both seem pretty freakin safe compared to literally anything else you use to get around

And actually American Airlines seems particularly bad. Did you know one of their flights crashed and killed 1700 people in one go?

So read the book I don't care. I'm just saying making decisions like that makes more sense when they're based on stats instead of entertainment

The Great Autismo! posted:how many people in this thread do you think make decisions of what airlines to fly based on the booming industry of "chinese commercial airline review and entertainment" Well, you're the one that said it so I'm talking to you.

Those are seriously the only foods I see kids eating during they day. Instant ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Capex vs opex, my dude.

Yeah, Korea is well noted for being bad.

The Great Autismo! posted:i was just saying there's a book here you can read that is supposed to be pretty crazy about pilots in china, after a guy mentioned pilot training with chinese students. i wasn't saying "please use this book as gospel for making decisions about traveling in china" No you're saying you used that book as input for your own decisions about traveling in china
