Ah, let's start a Susi bashing thread!

The original post implies two accidents within 75 days is the grounds for the recommendation to shut down Susi Air. It seems like someone has an axe to grind with Susi and nothing more. Luckily for Susi, I have heard she is connected right up to the top.

I think Merpati's accidents in the past few years (MA60 at Kaimana, B737 at Manokwari, DHC6 hitting a mountain) or AviaStar's amazing 150 to 350' circuit that ended with a regional jet flying into a very small hill (and their Twin Otter flying into a mountain ~80 days later) would have been far better candidates to recommend shutting down than Susi Air. But wait, those extra few days make all the difference between AviaStar and Susi, right? Or maybe it is because they employ mostly employee Indonesian pilots not foreigners unlike Susi Air...

I would also be interested in where that report is available to see if there are additional reasons behind their recommendations and if they are presented out of context here.
