maybe they believe the earth is flat in mid Ohio /s

but yea, there is a reason indonesia has like 5 out of the 10 worst airlines for safety records. a lot of small airports that necessitate less reliable smaller aircraft, which then snowballs because less experienced pilots are put in charge of those smaller planes, spotty maintenance of both planes/airports, and the weather gets in the way too.

flying singapore air/eva/anz/quantas to jakarta/bali is probably the only safe flight involved

Seems to be an opportunistic dog pile going on here

'More than half' of pilots have slept while flying

More than half of pilots have fallen asleep while in charge of a plane, a survey by a pilots' union suggests.
