First off, I agreed that there is no excuse for Susi Mgmt not getting proper work permits or licenses.
Second, I agree that profanity on the radio especially when directed at ATC is never warranted and should be dealt with severely.
Third, there are pilots at Susi Air who unfortunately don't make the effort to learn the language and culture; however, they are far from the majority.
To paint the entire Susi Air group with one brush because of a few incidents is not fair whatsoever.
Susi Air may be an easy target because it is almost entirely made up of foreigners, not to mention mostly young, single, with low experience. That is because there are no Indonesian pilots to fill these positions. That being said, they still have one of the best safety records in Indonesia, period.
For you to keep quoting the diamond incident is ridiculous. The pilot did a great job, everyone walked away. End of story.
Now, before you keep quoting embarrassing events that may have happened at Susi Air to in an attempt to discredit them, remember, it is a two way street and you open up all of Indonesian aviation to the same scrutiny.
So back to the discussion at hand. Yes, Susi Air must get proper work permits and licensing for everyone (if it is not already happening).

Believe it or not, those who started this thread are actually doing Susi Air pilots a favour in asking for management to ensure that their pilots have the correct papers to work in Indonesia.

Perhaps those who started the thread had that in mind; however, most others are here to do nothing more than discredit and cause damage because of a personal vendetta.
