Your comments on a recent survey conducted by Airlineratings.com, which named eight Indonesian airlines among the least safe in the world:
We have to contend or be satisfied with the results of airlineratings.com's survey, which named only eight Indonesian airlines among the least safe in the world. The results differ from what I had guessed, thought or counted before, namely that it's much more.

For how many years were Garuda and other Indonesian aircraft not allowed to land in Europe, because they couldn't meet the safety regulations? So how foolish is it to question the safety rank for Asian carriers.

Anyone with half a brain can see the actual state of Indonesian airlines. Garuda is okay, but sooner or later there will be another Garuda incident, because frankly everything is for sale and shortcuts are the norm

Anyone with half brain could see two fatal accidents happening in a year to Malaysia Airlines, and Indonesia's Air Asia, which is mostly controlled by a Malaysian owner!

Who the hell voted Garuda the best economy class? Really? Compared regionally to Singapore Airlines? Cathay Pacific?

I like those laminated prayer sheets (which correctly mention pre-formulated prayers for all six state-sanctioned religions) in the front pockets, just beside the safety instructions ' that is something rather unique and extremely thoughtful of Indonesian airline operators (as a keen prayer connoisseur, I think that Lion Air has the best ones).

Gafatar sect
The so-called Gafatar movement has come into the spotlight following the disappearance of two people in Yogyakarta. The government and security authorities, that cannot directly disband the organization, have been closely monitoring it and its activities for fear they are using violence. What do you think?
