legal or not?
You would be very surprised at all the questionable activity that goes on at this operation. Any where else in the world you would probably be violated or lose your license.. Welcome to DHL Bahrain.. It's just a matter of time before the bomb explodes on this rouge operation.

Come see for yourself D.
It could be a life changing experience
Morning all,
Trust all well with the DHL boys. Have a safe day and take care.
The, threat filled; iron fisted; no compassion; will replace you with cheap pilots; regime days are counted. MMc, AB and everybody in ill structured management positions who did not resist them with all they had, will have to give an account for their actions.
Stand together for once because your job will not be on the line and we can structure a team that will work together and earn real money and spend MMc and AB's bonusses in Fiddler's.
Keep your paperwork handy, just in case, cause LT in Human Remains(HR) WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD RECORD.
Let's see who remains loyal to the MMc's, AB's, SR's and even those we do not know about.
Have a great day!

You bunch of whiney little girls.
If you don't want to fly in a combat zone...don't...if you don't have the nuts to do it, don't do it, if you have the nuts to do it, do it. It is that simple.
I flew there for 12 month's straight...it ain't that bad.
The MANPAD attacks are highly exagerated...there has only been one documented MANPAD attack...the rest were helicopters, and there is a new weapon...that's all I can say
I would have no problem flying my civ 747 into theater, even with the green AF controlers.
You bunch of little pu@## little girls.
If progress is to be made, commerce has to continue. That means freight has to come and go.

DHL Bahrain on the way down
Hey all you guys, it's great the little raise we got in salary and housing, and the 3000 BD a kid for schooling. But just heard this will probably be short lived.. DP is very concerned about what has happened and is starting to look at other options to cover the flights. I really don't know how true all this s
t is, but one of my mats in Brussels already heard the rumors of the mess out here and the crap which is going to come down from DP.. Lets keep our fingers crossed this is just a rumor.. Off to God's country!!

Whilst I would not wish to fly for a company run by such appalling management as appears to be the case at DHL, like Tex, I would not object to operating into a war zone in my 747. I have just watched the Remembrance Day service and amongst the groups represented were sailors from the Merchant Navy. They are testimony to the fact that you do not have to be serving in the military to stand and be counted. If ever the chips were down I would not like to have to rely on Ignition Override or any of the contributors to this thread who follow his line. I am surprised that he is an American. He reads like a European.

I sympathize with you Pilots at DHL. Bad management will not breed confidence. I have seen these bully tactics too often in my carrer. Bobby 7272 are you a Pilot or a wannabe? This thread has been interesting and has drawn aviators from all over to post.
The fellas that are doing the real flying are probably so dn knackered and pumped with adrenalin that they only have time for a quick stubby then sleep till the next sortie. To you guys I say "break a leg" and fly safely so that you live to slurp yet another stubby and give your management the bird if they shove you around too much.

DHL Bahrain pilots
The other day a C-130 going into Balad airport in Iraq believed they were under attack by a ground to air missle.. One of the DHL pilots recorded the ATIS saying this. A captain even wrote an incident report to management about this incident, and the worries of the DHL Bahrain pilots about flying into this location.. And whats the response, "you guys don't want to cause waves, Because than all DHL will do is get the Russians to fly it, like they are doing in Mosul". This fellow pilots is bull. Management is even thinking of approaching the pilot group in flying into Bagdad at night for the holiday seasons. Apparently the next pilot meeting that's due to come up with the upper management is going to ask us to do this.. Don't fall for it..

"Ground air missile", that sounds pretty scary!
Is it true that midair collisions risks are very high during the spirals with heavy traffic overhead the airports?
Both aircraft involved in a Resolution Advisory must have already extreme maneuvering, and not many escape solutions, especially with lots of other traffics very near as well.
TCAS must be the primary instrument there?
Are UAVs visible on TCAS?

Pay the DHL pilots extra to fly into Mosul
Alan has offered the 727 pilots an extra 250 US dollars if they fly into Mosul. He claims the USPS contract is in jeapody of being lost if we don't. However, we all know for a fact Mike is willing to pay up to 500 to fly there.. I guess we all must have STUPID written on our faces.. How much do you value your safety?

DHL 727 spiral down approaches
DHL management had decided that all 727 aircraft going into Bagdad and Balad must conduct their spiral downs from 15,000 feet instead of the normal 8 - 9,000 feet which has been going on for the past year.. Only problem is, the military don't conduct these types of approaches anymore. The end result was 3 flights returned back to Bahrain without dropping off their cargo because the pilots refused to except any lower altitudes to spiral down. What is the pilot to do when DHL (for insurance purposes )saids you have to follow this company procedure and the military saids you can't spiral down from 15,000. The only thing that can be done is return, and screw up the sort for the next couple of days.. Man I love it when a plan comes together.
