Sorry Louth Girl
Yep, I am afraid so. A lot of pilots had high hopes when they joined Mandala, locals as well as expats and things started to come together but the missmanagement by the slef-styled Dutch CEO and VP Ops created havoc. Ignorance and arrogance ruled the company and this is the result!!
Stay away from Lion or its daugher company Batik Air. Garuda, Citilink, Air Asia and Air Asia X are much better options. I am not sure but Air Asia Indonesia still bases pilots in Bali.
Good luck!!
