It amazes me that civilian pilots are willing to fly into a war zone.
How can safety standards go any lower? There must be no more 'line in the sand'.
After the frightening return in the A-300 with all hydraulic systems lost, it was my impression that European DHL pilots refused to go back. Were they offered just a little more money, or what?
They are not on a strictly "military mission", are they?
Somebody is earning lots of money, while winning a lucrative bet with the pilots' inability to stand together and say "No.". They can now be pushed into anything, if they are "pushovers".
