it might be true that they want a slice of the cake.
But they dont want to share it with there crews!
They did pay there flightcrew something like 20 euro per day extra when they flew to Iraq before the missile attack.
Also there insurance cover is marginal ,they might have there airframe covered but how about there people!
If you want to send your people to a war zone pay them danger money and give them a choice. as far as i understand the UPS And Fed Ex pilots told there company that they where not willing to fly to these places either!
You cant force people to operate to places like that ,at least not in the western world.
If my company would ask me to go to these places i would tell them where to shove it!
