Selamat pagi pak Shintaro9,

Thanks for the news. Yes, good luck to all and an extra huge good luck to the pax as well. Indonesia's air safety record speaks for itself. .. I need not elaborate.

Yes, they will get bulges in their pockets and bulges in their pants when they see how well (comparatively speaking) the aircraft are maintained outside of Indonesia.

Apparently, it is rumoured that Garuda gets a cut of about 10% for sub-contracting their pilots to other airlines. There is a glut of experienced jet drivers in Indon at the moment and the company is encouraging them to look for greener pastures. This suits them well, since when it's time to return to browner pastures, they will be current on type.

Pity all the new Malaysian drivers however, who obtained their CPL/IR privately, looking for their first break with the Twotters. What other avenues do they have?

Cheers
