The F/O was fresh from flight school and just joined Garuda in 2005. It is likely that he's also just got his second bar not long ago.
It would be interesting if there are any external factors affecting the captain... As to the RYR Captain, interesting that I just read an article on it 2 nights ago... in that case it was more like the captain returning to work "too early" because he wouldn't think the company would give him extra time off... But then, I dunno much about that case...
We'll find out more on the GA case as time goes by...
Interestingly, Garuda was rated as class II by the govt. last night (with Adam in class III, not surprisingly)... and it was stated that the sole reason of GA entering Class II because of this crash... "accident free" record was required for class I.
Bummer for GA indeed!
