From The Australian, Monday Dec 14.


"GARUDA has ruled out re-employing pilot Marwoto Komar after an Indonesian court quashed his jail term for wilful negligence in the 2007 Yogyakarta crash that killed 21 people, including five Australians.

The Indonesian flag carrier said yesterday that Captain Marwoto resigned from the airline after an investigation into the high-speed crash."

...

"The court also cleared the way for him to return to flying."

...

"it was revealed on Friday that the Yogyakarta High Court overturned the decision in September, saying Captain Marwoto's negligence was not "legally and convincingly" proven."

On the surface it seems that the law works in funny ways!
