It wasn't meant serious, but thanks for the info nice to know why we can't get it. Never knew there are carriers in that area gives me something to do on the long way up.
Now i've to go through al the charts again to find another shortcut. The things you do not to get bored....
But I'm generally happy with the (transit)ATC coming from Iraq the shortcuts on the way are very very very much appreciated by me after working for 12 hrs. Yes even the mighty 1900 flies longhaul.
