The OP of that thread later went on to do a contract with Kam Air of Afghanistan, which is another good read: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pprune.org&#x2F;terms-endearment&#x2F;662364-kam-air-expat-contract-full-info.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pprune.org&#x2F;terms-endearment&#x2F;662364-kam-air-expat...</a><p>A highlight:<p>&gt; YA-KME for example, has a strange little thing where you’ll get an ECAM Red ENG 3 FIRE after you detent into CLB. For f*ck sake, don’t discharge the bottles, there’s no fire. It’ll shut up after 3 or 4 seconds. Again, reason unknown, everybody just kind of lives with it’s quirks now. KME is commonly referred too as “Kill Me”, as this is the aircraft with the most random issues. Brake temps breaking the charts when you start up from cold and dark in DXB for example. You’ll get used to them, and you’ll get used to which ones are “KME Normal” and KME actually trying to kill you.

&gt; <i>Like many airlines, Yemenia use one of the major rostering apps, and rosters release 15 days before the end of the month. Even despite the rocket attacks, car bombs, mortars, and intermittent electricity and wifi, they do still manage to get the roster out on time, which is more than I can say for the few European carriers I worked for.</i><p>Outstanding.

Its interesting.<p>I live in &quot;kashmir&quot;, India side and the place is on a similar no-go by both UK and US governments travel advisory.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;foreign-travel-advice&#x2F;india" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;foreign-travel-advice&#x2F;india</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;travel.state.gov&#x2F;content&#x2F;travel&#x2F;en&#x2F;traveladvisories&#x2F;traveladvisories&#x2F;india-travel-advisory.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;travel.state.gov&#x2F;content&#x2F;travel&#x2F;en&#x2F;traveladvisories&#x2F;...</a><p>Us has a level 4 do not travel.<p>The point is, we are around 10 million souls living in this place and we call it home. It may not be for Americans and British but its our home.<p>Reading this article, im sure travellers here last month could give similar &quot;harrowing&quot; accounts of escaping from the valley and the stuff they did.<p>Yeah, terrorism tourism is real and its &quot;extremely cheap&quot; compared to last month. More safer I would assume but yeah.<p>The air fare has dropped to like 30%, hotels are empty so they will offer you sweet deals.

Great read! I&#x27;m a bit surprised the author (and others?) didn&#x27;t get a bro-level warning from others who&#x27;d done this. Oops; hindsight is 50&#x2F;50. I suppose this post is just that, and I bet no one else will walk into this with expectations otherwise! Granted, rapidly-changing field with the war...

Tried to figure out their routes: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yemenia.com&#x2F;flights" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yemenia.com&#x2F;flights</a>. &quot;No Flights Available&quot;

Why you wouldn&#x27;t get tf out of there on your first Cairo landing is beyond me.

Did he speak to his co-pilot before flights, though?

&gt;Pleased with himself, he asks you how he did and is disappointed when you tell him that he didn’t actually land the aircraft, some French computer engineer did.<p>This.

That was unexpectedly authentic and entertaining!
