i don't think so! the livery will make the planes look as if they are in a war! i think this color is for camouflage .How ever, the sky is blue obviously so the plane wont really blend in. nice picture by the way!

Guys, is there a clause somewhere in ICAO's Annexs saying about the rights of pilot to refuse to fly if it seems unsafe? Remember reading it somewhere.

There probably is. (Operation of aircraft) - ICAO Annex 6 maybe?

But realistically if you were to refuse to fly based on an ICAO article, you'd likely get the sack

What would be the point if it doesn't make any money, this is a business and GF are squeezed out of all the glamour destinations by the competition, so what are we left with......Iraq, till the others squeeze us off that (please soon).

you know what would be great for GF is that if start flying to USA again!You have no idea how much passengers they would get from Iraq (mostly from US army) they should keep the 777 to fly to north America!.These incompetent decisions made by this airline really irritates me.

tristarfivestar, grow up.

I wish I could bet a large sum of money that tristarfivestar is not a day older than 12 years old.

Do us all a favor and visit www.barney.com - they have free online games for kids and a broad selection of barney videos you can watch. Hopefully this will steer you clear of things meant for grown ups only.

More deaths in iraq

Massive bomb blast in Baghdad today on the edge of the green zone, which is supposedly 'safe'.

At least 75 confirmed dead, over 300 injured.

How can anyone argue that Iraq is not a war zone?!

Many killed as series of blasts hits Baghdad
