No not at all I have flown MH several times and have been more than happy with their service and I know SQ is as good as any. But I have been told of several "tense" moments on different Chinese based carriers and I am lead to believe "Western" training is more involved than SOME eastern training. I was also just making an observation that KA has several Australian pilots.
