Firstly which schedule operator is currently flying in Iraq Afghanistan?
Secondly when was the last time you de iced or did a Cat 3B approach, fly in to an airport like JFK, Heathrow, operated on a contaminated runway. When was the last time you were 1000nm from a suitable diversion field? When did you do a landing in a Typhoon?
When did you sit on board for 10-12 hours and then do a landing on the back of the clock?
I bet you don't even know what equipment you need to do RVSM! What about a GPS approach?
Please do not tell me that flying around SA is the same as flying to all corners of the world.
