Sorry guy to interrupt your slap and tickle contest... the guys from batavia are the worst.. a bunch of cowboys. Even Lion are reluctant to hire them.. pee poor airmanship and safety. A lot applied, a lot failed. just cant fly (Capt). My friend did a simulator with a Batavia Capt. and it was his first time he every did a hydraulic fail A and B. Batavia PC was a simple engine out, go around and land that kind of thing.

Dont even mention about maintenance. you better call the roadside service (AAA, AA or Greenflag) to fix your plane than ask the maintenance guy.

Batavia has been cautioned or banned (cant remember) by Saudi after there pilots (A330) was caught not having enough rest period, the practise is common. these guys fly the haji came back to JKT less than 24hs rest then back to Saudi.. NOT because of scheduling but because of the pay.. night stop pay.. USD.
