Best signal is banning Garuda (again!) and "help" the indonesian authorities cleaning up!
Citilink is now independent from Garuda (the airline), operating with a completely separate AOC, aircraft and management team.
They share common investors (the group company is still the largest investor) but since 2012 the two airlines have been operating as separate entities.
Albert Burhan wasn't just a "manager" at the airline -- he is/was the CEO of Citilink. So seems to me they are taking the safety incident seriously.
