BBC News - Balpa criticises airline route safety assessments I flew for a British Airline that deliberately lied to us re terrorism and were forced by Balpa to accept our life insurance risks; it's about time the public became aware of the gambling with their lives...let alone the crews.
In the 70s we I flew into 5 of these zones...three were with the risk of being shot down and two with being blown out of the skies. There is a file on one incident...but this is closed under the official secrets act ...still (1976).
One factor that hasn't been widely discussed here is who benefits if the action was deliberate? The Ukraine.
