F/O is from Aruba just FYI...
Presuming the above comment refers to Aruba in the Carribean, interesting the racism that permeates SE Asian countries after an aircraft accident.
Remember the media release on the SQ website after SQ006? One comment read bluntly along the lines of "the captain was Malaysian".
I am sure that there are many tales of woe from expat aussies working in the area.
