I have a friend who flys Il-76s into war torn countries, because no one else is crazy enought o fly there. There is a lot of risk, but he said he makes from $25,000 to $30,000 usd a month. When they land in places like Iraq, they always stay on the aircraft, instead of going to some insurgent run hotel. He said at first he did not like the idea, but after two years, 3 apartments, one farm and a good bank account, he's use to it, but I think it's not worth it. (he's an F/O by the way, the captain on these flights makes easily $30,000 usd a month)
O.K. Where do I sign?
