Pilot error cited in report on deadly jetliner crash

An Indonesian pilot shouted "Pull up! Pull up!" seconds before his jetliner plunged into the sea last year, killing all 102 people on board, according to an investigation yesterday that blamed his errors and a faulty navigation system for the disaster.
"This is really bad. It is starting to fly like a bamboo ship," said one of the two pilots before the Boeing 737 crashed, according to comments captured by the cockpit voice recorder. "This is crazy!"
Last week, the government revoked low-cost carrier Adam Air's operating license because of its poor safety record.
