Hi Squawk and CL.
I am about, but still recovering from a typical Travel Agent's holiday to Bali.
8 nights Bali and 5 nights Mersey general hospital on return with cellulosis and a flagelate in the blood. Not Balis fault - all mine. A Travel Agents holiday is like a mechanics car - never goes right. Hell of a way to lose 25 kilos.

Flew up and back on GA and they were good as gold. Good straight line stuff I guess but we did have to do one of those scary turny things on the way in to DPS.

As GA had been warned that they were deficient in their procedures,I can only assume that any delay in implimenting protocols has been caused by high ranking officials dodging any implication in the no doubt massive slings of Rupiah or USD's involved in allowing the Airline to avoid the regulations.

It is interesting (and tragic) that the EU also banned TAAG Angolan Airlines from their airspace. TAAG responded by killing at least 6 people in the hull loss of a 732 at M'Banza Congo perhaps confirming EU fears.

Best all
EWL
