Better to say a “lack of money, training and honesty”! When you are 600’ low (200’asl) ) at 2.5 miles from the runway on an ILS (Hong Kong) and it takes a EGPWS warning to get your attention! This carrier is headed for a catastrophe!

This is one way of preparing to handover the operations to private operators and FIs.
