Captain Asoh's candid admission of error following the crash landing of a passenger jet into the bay demonstrated an unusual approach to accountability in aviation. Instead of facing termination, he was demoted but later reinstated in his role as captain. The incident highlighted the importance of taking responsibility for mistakes, which is now referred to as 'The Asoh Defense'. Despite his initial language barriers and the new instrument challenges, Asoh's swift and effective emergency response ensured no injuries among the 107 passengers aboard. This case raises awareness on how accountability can sometimes serve as a strategy for career preservation even in high-stakes scenarios.
