I cannot belive people still think it is acceptable to fly into ANY war zone in a unprotected civvy a/c. If Basra is safe then why are the military still using combat procedures with the Hercs?
Iran, Syria etc. are not war zones, they may be slightly risky, but no where near going to Iraq in the current climate.
Whilst I haven't been to Basra, I do know quite a few C130 jockeys who are definately not happy when they go out there.
Have faith in the companies procedures!
Bean counters know a lot about missile defence do they? Ask to have a look at most company emergency plans and see how many of the people mentioned are still with the company or in some cases even still alive. This is not a joke unfortunately.
