Just read a quote in the Jakarta Post that Garuda will not have a problem with respect to the threatened industrial action by some of the crew.
The paper quoted some figures which I find almost unbelievable.. an A330 captain currently makes around 40 million Rupiah, which translates (to you and me) to less than 3000 sterling and around $4000 a year.
They've asked for 88 million ($8500) and the company has offered around $4500.
How can anyone afford to live in Jakarta on those salaries ? (And, of course, how can anyone afford to live in London on British salaries.....) Same story, different figures, great airline.
