I spent 3 years in Jakarta flying a Gulfstream around the region. We were not allowed on Lion air at all. I watched them land with tailwinds on wet runways all the time. Take-off in weather we would wait for. Land long and almost go off the end of the runway. Bali did not surprise me one bit.

I had drinks many times with the low time F/O's in a few expat bars in Jakarta. The stories they told were just down right scary. Now reading this thread it seems it will only get worse. Indonesia is not the place for people without good experience.
