I can't believe that any airline would send you there! What is the general feeling amongst those that you work with? I would be very unhappy to fly to Iraq, even President Bush is working quickly to pull US troops out of Iraq because of the ever increasing security threat there. You certainly do deserve danger money. If I was you I would have a lot of questions and concerns to raise with your employer before agreeing to these flights!

quote from Daily Mail Sat 15th Nov

"Suicide bombers in Iraq are planning to attack targets in the heart of the British-controlled city of Basra, intelligence has warned.

Security has been stepped up dramatically, with roadblocks and vehicle searches increased, after the warning that bombers are believed to be in Iraq's second city already."


Hope I've not scared you but think you are very right to be concerned.
