Make sure you all research Indonesia in-depth first and really take a deep look into the airlines your looking to get involved with. Being in Indonesia myself I can confidently say it does not operate like any other country in the world and if not taken seriously you might get severly taken advantage of. Research Jakarta and other Merpati bases including Kupang... are these places you want to be? Then give a read into Merpati's past... crashes, scandals, the fact that they are government owned and have had their fair share of problems over the years. Also consider the usefulness of an MA-60 rating.... I'm not going to tell anyone to do anything one way or another thats your choice but I HIGHLY recommend you do some research before you pack up and move or even get your hopes up.
