Would hope so, can't have the Prols getting ideas above their station.
On the "notification" front, I would say look at the nasty little accident involving Manx Airlines & a Spanish Metroliner a couple of years back & rejoice in the fact that you find out prior to strolling across the apron. You don't have to look as far as Indonesia, there are a few "legal" companies I would not countenance flying with in Europe.
I wouldn't have such blind confidence in the choice of aircraft leased in, as long as it is legal (covering of @ss being paramount) I would suggest price/availability would have influenced the choice more than the reputation (good or bad) of any operator concerned.
