Regionally flight and most turn around.

Please do not worry. "500hrs" not necessary to be typed rated in their fleet. Please don't get misleaded.

If you have CRJ200-900s, EMB135/145s, EMB170/190s, or even Dash 8s, ATRs, Saab 340s, that will be amazing advantage! P2 hours are still considered. Not only that, US regional guys are in better shape than Aussies! Most Aussie/Kiwi applicants are not even type-rated and they got the job.

If you were to apply from the United States, I am afraid they will not entertain. Email, phone call, fax, Skype will not help. In fact, Indonesian recruiters like to see real applicant infront of them.

I met alot Aussie guys who flew there and tried their luck!

Indonesia has their unique culture and they (the airlines) rarely entertain call. If you want, try this number: +62 21 632-6039
