Condolences
I can't agree more. People do not realise how dangerous Afghanistan is-especially the desk jockeys back home in their airconditioned offices figuring out how to save a buck at the aircrews expense. It is truly sickening and is endemic to SA aviation at present. All of them are chasing the now not so mighty $. Our deepest condolences to those who perished in a far away land in someone elses fight. Stand together guys-insist on security, flares chaff etc. We will all continue to be prime targets as long as the companies try and save money by basing their crews in the country, better get based outside and fly in and then back out again.
