guys look at a bigger picture.
dont just always put the blame squarely on the airline particularly the flight crew.
Nobody wants an incident to happen.

the goverment of indonesia really needs to get their act together to seriously upgrade the airport facilities all over the country which has been long overdue in order to keep up the air travel demands for the past few years.

fyi runway in PKU has only 2200 x 30 meters and adds that with heavy down pours..not an easy place for any pilots in the world to land the plane the size of 739.

in my honest opinion, the authority in indonesia is partly to blame for this incident.
