The other day a C-130 going into Balad airport in Iraq believed they were under attack by a ground to air missle.. One of the DHL pilots recorded the ATIS saying this. A captain even wrote an incident report to management about this incident, and the worries of the DHL Bahrain pilots about flying into this location.. And whats the response, "you guys don't want to cause waves, Because than all DHL will do is get the Russians to fly it, like they are doing in Mosul". This fellow pilots is bull
. Management is even thinking of approaching the pilot group in flying into Bagdad at night for the holiday seasons. Apparently the next pilot meeting that's due to come up with the upper management is going to ask us to do this..
Don't fall for it..
