True, but that dosen't change the fact that you should not have to rely on company auditing to improve an airline safety. What about the individual passengers who don't have the benefit and largese of a company to back them up and are stuck flying with the questionable scheduled airlines? Basic safety standards always have to come from the government regulatory authority, whatever that may be. And as this crash shows on top of the many other crashes in that country last year, Indonesian civil aviation standards still have a long way to go. This is sad since I do agree with Saint Jack, there are many good Indo pilots, but they are indeed let down by their employers and the system as a whole. Without changes from the entire civil aviation system as a whole, Indo pilots will continue to suffer.
