Garuda are banned in Europe. Why the hell are they not banned here.
A fair question but the answers are not necessarily logical.
Easy on there Kenny....
I think if you read the post by Ultergra again ,you'll find that his question is a rhetorical one ....
If Garuda flights are banned in Europe then there is obviously a problem with Garuda ops from the EU governments point of view and Ultergra is saying that Australia should be concerned with them as well....Think about it!
Obviously,The EU don't have as many concerns regarding Indonesia as we do otherwise we would be doing the same.Sometimes it is more prudent to work with someone instead of going head to head.
It is ridiculous by our standards that someone (if guilty) receives 20 years plus for a bag with an illegal substance but someone who kills because of incompetence gets 2 years.....
Culture has a lot to do with it but so does the home ground advantage....I wonder what the outcome would have been if the pilot had not been a muslim and an Indonesian but instead an Australian christian and maybe a female on top of that...???
