Airytoad is probably in a safer place now than he was 10 years ago, which is maybe why nowadays he views the world through rose colored spectacles rather than rose colored eyes.
He should be rather careful of slagging off the Canadian Union of National Travel (not a particularly amusing pun anyway) who offer considerably more opportunities to their pilots than his own outfit, often with better benefits, better money, more variety and more opportunities for genuine adventure. If Aerogulf is operating in Yemen, then maybe there's some adventure (but then forget all the guff about personal safety).
