For those thinking in joining Lion Air, please check visa conditions before doing anything because they just came out with a company policy where you have to get aproval from the Chief Pilot to leave the country, otherwise inmigration will stop you at the airport.
Once you get this aproval that could take 7 days or more and only then they will issue an exit visa.

If you have an emergency in your family you wont be able to leave.
The other thing you have to consider is how unsafe is the operation, extremely desorginized and you will have to deal with locals for training.
Crew transport is terrible, no meal allownces when on layovers and will do 4 nights layover a week. Once you get out of Jakarta food is the worst if you can find some specially when you arrive at midnight.
You will regret going there almost instantly.
