hey I know how cheap they are, I booked 4 flights myself with AA for $131 each, but all I am saying is that if you think someone trained and licensed in Indonesia is the same as someone trained and licensed in Australia then you are crazy. There is a safety factor here and do you really think you are going to get the same standard from a captain that gets paid $25k a year or someone that gets paid $140k a year. Its not only about money but national culture, Australian Aviation Safety culture is a lot different to Indonesia's. I am not staying that this is all a major problem I will still fly with them but with the full knowledge that its not the same as VirginBlue and I am getting what I paid for (a cheap flight to bali return for $131 lol)
