I am interested to know the views of some of you guys regarding, what now has become the common practice, commercial airliners flying over Iraq.
I recently flew over Iraq in this fashion and was a tad worried. OK flying at night and high is as safe as it's going to get but it's still not 100% safe flying across a war zone. If a cabin pressurization problem was to occur what action due you take? Decend to 10000 ft over Bagdhad.... i don't think so.
Also what alternates due you use if you need to land sharpish, Kuwait or Amman?
