And no I'm not Ken. But we both can see the wood.
As to the topic of the thread. I see some similarity in the troubles TT are having in Bali and the fate of JQ in HKG. In each case there was a dubious ownership structure designed to look like it complied with foreign/local ownership provisions and both carriers had got away with the ruse in the past or in other jurisdictions. But eventually someone declares that the emperor has no clothes and stops the airlines flaunting the rules.

JQ HKG was not a Hong Kong carrier and was blocked from operating. Tiger Aus is neither Australian nor Indonesian so can not be allowed to freely sell tickets to and from Bali.
We must be walking in the Reality National Park BB, as opposed to the others who are in the Kool Aid National Park and gulping huge quantities from the spring of spin.
