I reply in sequence.

I kept my job and finished my contract. If I had found another way to start this career, trust me I would have done it.

As I explained in my post I didn't want to be specific about the name of the airlines because all of these stories could happen with any of them.
I was not part of the active crew during the incident I mentioned. I didn't give any details because, and that was mentioned in the conclusion of the investigation, the biggest factor in this situation was the general conditions of the pilots. They flew too much even though they still respected the regulation. No matter how good is the training and the experience, everyone has a limit. My point is: in Indonesia the pilots are too often to reach their limits.
I agree to say that the SIC is sharing the responsibility with the PIC and it is his duty to speak up and even take over. Easier to say than to do however but yes never assume that none of what we do will ever make any difference. I saw too much of that during these years.
