thanks for the info pak,
it looks good for the captains but as for the Fo's,its only slightly more compared to what is offered in AK. around one thousand more ringgit approx. But i've heard this from quite a number of my indon collegues that the power distance in indonesia between capt and Fo is very very high hence the pay scale difference. and promotion from right to left takes ages. so i guess for the Fo's,its best they stay out of this mandala deal but looks great for the captains.
