Pay in Iraq

Ok ok. It works out to about $7500 so its not that much better than any other contract, but its better than pay at home and you can get shot down doin what you like or get robbed on your way to the airport in South Africa Anyway, we get looked well after there. We get vectors around hot spots and if Bagdad airport is a problem, we get escorted down by fighters. The airport is probably the most secure airport in the world at this stage. It gets protected 12 miles around and theres also a minimum of 8 blackhawks up around the airport when we descent in. The poor passengers have to go through about 12 security checks just to get into the plane.
