Just for record: Adamair started operations on 19th Dec 2003. Mr Adam got the airline as a present from his mother for his 20th or 21st birthday. At the beginning he was wery proud to have only modern 737 500 and 400 aircraft.
When I joined them the 737 chief-pilot did not have type-rating. We had different problems then, they usually filled the aircraft with fuel, the remaining fuel was always about 5 tons irrelevant of weather or the alternate.Apart from small incidents I remember the day, when we got a Fuel-filter light on. The QRH says something like land as soon as possible. We've been flying with it for about 2 weeks, the maintenance told us that they interchanged the two filters, but the light was still there, so this was a problem in the system somewhere, the filter itself was clean... but that was all lies, finally they got the new filter and the light was gone... Don't be upset, this is Indonesia, a wonderful country anyway, with great people and for your money you can get everything...
