I have seen their F50 parked at Surabaya for some time now. I don't know whether it's started flying or not as I've never seen it active after it's inaugural flight in May. After that first flight, the aircraft was AOG in Semarang for a month and finally ferried to SUB where it is now. A friend of mine has been offered a position as DEC captain on the F50 which is quite surprising since he has no time on type, but I guess that's how desperate they are (perhaps incumbents have been abandoning ship?). There's lots of talk about the A320's, but from what I hear on the inside, this type is not yet on their AOC. Perhaps it will be soon if the above post is any indication of things to come.
