America is a classic low-power
distance culture. When push comes to shove, Americans
fall back on their American-ness, and that American-ness
means that the air traffic controller is thought of as an equal.
But what country is at the other end of the power distance
scale? Colombia.
Our ability to succeed at what we do is powerfully
bound up with where we re from, and being a good pilot
and coming from a high-power distance culture is a difficult mix. Colombia by no means has the highest PDI,
by the way. Helmreich and a colleague, Ashleigh Merritt,
once measured the PDI of pilots from around the world.
Number one was Brazil. Number two was South Korea.""
