As a loadie I.ve just got back in to Bahrain from doing the Baghram Lahore run in one of the 727s we're also doing a Mosul run in the 727, schedules vary but generally its 2 a300 runs to Baghdad with different crews, a Mosul run and a Baghram, Lahore run, filling in with some AN12s on smaller routes. everything is reasonably routine,
Thers is a warehouse in Baghdad where the mail is being sorted, and customs and immgration aare alive and operating, we had an arrival check on the a/c by customs a few days ago,,
Schedules are very much controlled by freight loads inbound to us, mostly Kalitta 747 to BAH. hopefully that will clear the picture for you all a bit better.
