Sorry and sorry, if we talk about flying and or not giving comments on a certain airline , as here Lion .... Fair enough , but keep it to the flying . Any airline these days is kind of " using " it's staff , OK ! Then , if you did choose to join an airline as Lion ..... Do not always go moaning about every detail etc such as training etc .....if you an aviator you should know the kind of airline you joined . Lion Air never did put a gun on your head to join them....it is simply you who decided to make that step as a P2F or a pilot who need to fly to earn some money etc..... But it was only you who decided to join this or that airline ..... But the really sadest thing you even can say that the food outside Jakarta is bad .... Makan di Indonesia .....bad ??????? Have you ever been there ?????? Is this your first country in Asia or SE Asia cos believe Makan Indonesia is simply ENAK ENAk .....
So I am sorry yes you will not have you simple hamburger but then stay in your country ....
Because you might have bad / neg experiences with a certain company does not allow you to say the food outside Jakarta is bad etc .... Ok and sorry Bali ....Jakarta food is really much better but it is still great to enjoy Balinese food ..... Selemat makan !
What Shabu Shabu are you on today Cap? ... apparently did your 160 hrs this month and decided to post on this forum under influence? Gilaaaaaaaa !
p.s. YES, the new VISA block is again an issue since everyone is running away to Turkish. This rule was also implemented by Lion between 2009-2010 and removed when some Army Generals (friends with some good-hearted local capts) got the smell of it how Lion was taking the pilots hostage in Indonesia. WELCOME TO INDONESIA, if you enter as pilot, there is no return OUT for now! STUCK in the country until the Chief Pilot let you pass the doorman.
Wake up and smell the coffee, selamat pagi, happy landings for your 161st hr today. seratu ribu rupiah extra flightpay!
*p.s. 2 hope some local capts put up the pressure on Lion again to release those blokes who are being held in the country.
