The regionals in the US are a whole other animal and have problems of their own but the follow 'best practices' to work with the FAA to fix it. When you have a bunch of young guys who have been flying jets for less than 3-4 years you're going to have mistakes. However, when you have a flight deck with experienced pilots, some of which have been on type for 25 years and they still make basic mistakes you have a systemic problem.
Also, Boeings have VNAV and many more speed protections that regional jets lack. To stall a 744 is a willful act of idiocy and ignorance.
Where is KAL doing it's ab-initio commercial training nowadays? Is it still being done in the US? If so, there is a problem there.
Also, post this on flyer talk and start making pax aware. The asian airlines are letting a lot of unsafe practices fly. Taiwan is another issue.
