Wow!!!! That's a lot of iron. What are the total orders now for Lion Air - 500+ new aircraft over the next decade? I guess it makes sense to diversify your vendors (Boeing & Airbus) if you have large enough fleets that include support services to preserve your negotiating leverage.

Too bad pilot salaries will likely continue to disappoint into the future despite the growing need and competition for experienced pilots in that region of the world. Air Asia needs pilots. Garuda needs pilots. Lion Air needs LOTS of pilots. Certainly great pilot opportunities if you are willing to accept sub-par salaries...
