Hi all,
I'm seriously considering to join Garuda Indonesia on a one year contract as an F/O on the Boeing 737-800. It seems like an interesting and enjoyable experience if I can get the time off from my employer.
However, I can hardly get an idea what the working atmosphere in the cockpit will be like, and I read on this site horrible stories about authoritarian captains who feel like they are God, terrified to loose face being the norm, to dudes who have the time of their lives!
I seriously want to get an idea what it will be like to share a workspace as a western f/o with a local captain with a local airline... before I sign a one year contract.
Who can give me any insights from Asia, Indonesia, Garuda?
Negative as well as positive experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!
