GIA flights expected to be normal by today

For the past 3 days, the vastly improving Indonesian airlines has just passed its darkest hour, which due to a system migration and a change of crew member schedules, caused cancellations, delays, and flight diversions all over. I expect its rival Mandala to surpass Garuda this year though.

What's the point of putting a link to something in Indonesian???

I'm just wondering why an an article about an Indonesian airline, not written in English, could be of any possible interest to members of a forum dedicated to classic British aircraft in FS.

I am prepared to be enlightened

If you surf with Google Chrome all can be pretty much revealed. Besides if you're flying C Class Empire boats to the colonies you need to know what is virtually getting in your way - or not .

Rgr that mate, I wasn't referring to current conditions, I was wondering why we need an advert for Garuda

Hehe, even in the US I sometimes wonder if they know what voltage we're supposed to be using. My apartments have 120v (vice the "normal" 110), the trunk lines in the mall that my parents' shop is in are 480v (which breaks down to 240v/120v instead of 220v/110v) and half of my equipment at the apartment keeps recycling even with a step-down and surge protector because they're only rated for 125v.

Maybe we'll just fix it all and have a worldwide standard voltage and plug.... yeah, that'll be the day... We can't even interchange electricity across some of the regional power grids because of differences in voltage and frequency.

We got 480v 3 phase at work
