After airborne, the Captain is heard on the radio as the Tower hands them off to Surabaya Director. That's definitely the captain talking as he referred to the female controller as 'mbak' (which is Indonesian for 'sis') in a typical Javanese accent. (At 10:59 on the audio timeline).
So, we can deduce form this that the FO was PF and and Captain was PNF (or PM in this part of the world)
And it's usually standard practice for the Captain to taxi out and the FO performs communication duties whilst on the ground.
