Yes - it is conceivable. It is called Loss of Face Syndrome also known as Real Men Don't Go Around syndrome. Common in some cultures and the direct cause of many aircraft accidents.
Yes, another comment from someone stuck from the last millenia and refuse to accept that change and development in CRM and other aspects of flight management and even basic airmanship has taken place and is in effect in Indonesia...
Fell free to slam the pilot with such "real men don't go around syndrome" despite him having the reputation otherwise... but don't go knocking on everyone else who shares the same nationality...
Next time you see an Indonesian plane going around, I wonder what would you say? "I didn't see that" perhaps??????
