Good call Kelkel
Indonesia's airlines are generally owned/operated/piloted by the rich sons of Generals, high ranking Politicians, Regional Governors and the like.
There is no way that even a hull loss will cause criminal charges in Indo, even if you are an ex-pat providing you grease the right palms in sufficient amounts of greenbacks.
Definitely the finest officials money can buy.
In the land of Oz, it takes a little motivation but the regulator will act on anything that deliberately places passengers and crew at risk. The crew in question weighed up options, checked the operational integrity of the aeroplane and with no untoward indications projected the flight safely. What problem?
Mr Boeing does however build rather a good product that stood up beautifully.
Long may that be so.
