Susi air is screaming out for pilots at the moment as over 50 have just handed in their notices.
This is to do with getting a 12% pay cut when the government made it that all pay must be in Indonesian Rupiah.
Susi then fixed the pay at a conversion rate of 12,000 to $1. The rupiah has since taken a nose dive...

As for the accidents.
The country is as safe as you make it. Just like any other bush operation.
The rule book flying in those mountains was written in blood. Ignore it at your own peril.

Still. Its a once in a life time opportunity and heading there after a stint in Botwsana is not a stupid idea.
