The point that seems to be conveniently glossed over is that this is a thinly disguised contract for the military. We are not taking a bunch of local goat herders on holiday, this is a specific charter for military support staff. Now lets all hope that GAG has managed to get the powers that be to pay the locals to leave us alone as once the word gets around, the local lads with their MANPADS may be taking more than a passing interest in us. It's not the risk during the turn around, it's the first & last 5000ft operating into & out of the place that is more of a concern. We have to be lucky every time we go in to KDH, Terry & co only have to be lucky once. Stick a BOZ pod on the jet, pay me extra for putting my nuts on the block & I might, just might consider it. Make it obligatory (unless of course you're a scandic A scaler
), then it's toodle pip from me.
