Dear mother of god……………finally! Keep those Adam Air bastards off the runways!

I have a special place in my heart for the dumb cow flight attendant that nearly knocked me out by smashing me over the top of the head with a full luggage bin. Yes, I still remember you, dumb ass.

I have flown Adam Air a few times last year for domestic flights in Indo but after seeing an Indonesian based airline crashing or disappearing a few times on the news I stopped using any domestic airlines if I can help it.

But if I want to fly domestically in Indo I really don’t have a choice but to use a local airline, lately I have been using Lion Air. But for anywhere else I always fly Singapore Air

But no matter what my ass tightens up every time I jump on an Indo airline, even before all of the crashes my stewardess friends used to tell me stories about incompetent pilots, lousy maintenance and how easy it is to bribe airline inspectors.

LOL..dunno how to say..but as i know Adam Air sudden grounded not because only of the security factors. that because affair and corrupt in the company.

as the major party is the owner and operational director vs financial director. with 50-50 share holding in the company.

but the problem as the financial department director also the owner of few TV channel and Few mass media magz..that make the real problem cover up by the mass media of the financial department director. and use security problem as the reason (although it is true)..But can’t say that is the best what Indonesia gov best action..LOL.. it is happen not because of the security issue but back to the money.LOL..

Devari and Travel Betty – yup, I think the Indonesian Government finally realized that they can’t talk only, if they want to restore national and international faith into the country’s aviation industry. Hope that examples shows the other airlines, that the time for NATO (No Action Talk Only) is up.

Ah yes and Betty – many thanks for the friendly and kind words! We enjoyed meeting you in Bali just as much and had a ball of a time. Talking about time – 3 hours passed like an eye blink and I couldn’t believe that the sun was actually setting already, when we parted.

I hope we can do that again and I’m sure we will catch up during one of our travels wherever we may roam at that time!

Yikes! Doesn’t do much to allay my fears of flying. Luckily, I flew Singapore Air when I came over.

btw, I wanted to let you know that I finally posted about our fun meet-up in November! You can see it here: http://www.travel-betty.com/travel-betty-meet-up-with-nomad4ever/

Be well

that is the best decision ever made by the Indonesian govt. to be honest, there should couple more airlines companies need to be grounded due to the low standard of flight safety procedure.
