Safest airport ever

The morters are a rumour. PB conquerred. There are no evidence of any war ongoing in Iraq. Angola is a much worse place. Hillbrow even worse. I just LOVE flying into Bagdad day in and day out. Boy its easy to rattle cages!!!!!!!!!!! The Middle East is not for sissies, it Rocks!! ITs for REAL MEN

Depending on your pay, it could be for real men without brains.
Considering the amount of choppers being shot down
with those SAM 7's.
cforty7 hope you are making it worthwhile and milking em!

OK

You can't live forever. I'll take the job and some suicide pills just in case.

C47 you ...

The thread isn't about being brave enough to fly into Iraq. It's a money issue.
Real men??!!!
I'd rather be a sissie than stupid.
You're flying into a war zone for an "average" wage. Therefore you deserve more!!!!!!!!!

It gets protected 12 miles around and theres also a minimum of 8 blackhawks up around the airport when we descent in.
Hey, you know Blackhawks are just utility helicopters, right? All they have is a little mini-gun. If somebody had a manpad they'd probably be in more trouble than you in the big shiny jet with outboard mounted engines hanging off the wing. What does Iraq have to do with Africa forum anyways?

Covertwar.......

Your ignorance in this matter is extraordinary.

There are numerous south AFRICAN companies who fly into iraq for various NGO's. And in the case of the F28, it's a south AFRICAN company subchartering to Royal Jordanian (the airline). Onboard these south AFRICAN regestered aircraft are south AFRICAN crews, who are employed under south AFRICAN labour law. SO, the origional question was about how much south AFRICAN crews being payed to fly into iraq.

Granted, there are a few other nationalities flying for the south AFRICAN companies.....but generally speaking the majority are Saffers.

So..........there you go, 7 reasons why this thread appears here......and not in the Middle East forum.

Thanks for the explanation, but what do you take me for, a mindreader? I only saw one reference to South Africa in the first post, and that was just an acronym.

You really could have just explained it to me without all the antagonism.
