av8Boy. Thank you for the verification that ATA and "other charter operators" are in Iraq.
For others responding: I asked "has anyone heard anything", not "has anyone NOT heard anything"...but thank you non-the-less for allowing me to read your unsolicited responses.
Sorry, rough day.
With respect captain if you ask a question on this forum it is inevitably going to invite responses. The fact they seem unsatisfactory to you cannot reasonably classify them as "unsolicited"
