although this merely means that in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

Made my day.

While it is important to unspin mercilessly the pompous and the spin doctors, I think its also important to give credit when it is due.

I think Emirsyah has done well by crisis communications standards this instance. This has little to do with Garuda’s past – Emirsyah wasn’t in charge then.

Garuda is also the standard bearer in the Indonesian aviation industry – although this merely means that in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

An illusion of safety by Garuda? A standard bearer for others to model?

Maybe I’m too cynical or maybe I don’t forget things as easily as others, but Garuda has a horrendous record, WAY before this latest disaster.

THE STATISTICS:

–Garuda’s safety record ranks 77th out of 87 of the largest airlines in the world.

–Garuda has been killing an average of 14 people/year over last 3 decades — not including their suspected complicity in the murder of Munir.
