Interesting. Another Airbus, Another stall and another pilot pulling back. Not the only problem, but an interesting coincidence.

Watching it now. Inexperience of pilots to the fore ... (growth too fast) and a weak national regulator.

Fun story: my uncle (Indonesian) told me 10+ years ago he saw Garuda pilots drinking before a flight. Hopefully they have gotten a lot better since :shock:.

Hopefully they have gotten a lot better since :shock:.

If they've been drinking consistently for these 10+ years, their alcohol tolerance should be a lot better now.

And airline management which accepts cost saving over experience (crew), wonder what the maintenance dept looks like.
