I have also flown to BSR recently, and do share your concern. I have never had any problems, but still, did not expect to be flying to a war zone. There has been a recent security alert, at the airport, while a crew was there, although I don't know the details... The companies that are operating to BSR are hardly going to tell their staff it is unsafe to fly here, but at the end of the day it would be nice if, instead of jumping down our throats every time anyone mentions individual fears, we were given some support and kept updated of any incidents that occur that may affect operating crews.. I have experienced concern from friends and family about operating to Iraq, which is entirely justified, because I can't go back to them and tell them anyhthing other than "our company says it wouldn't send us there if it wasn't safe"
So sweety, I to am not entirely happy about it either, but feel that my company finds it irritating if crew keep harping on about it.
