Airlines are not flying over airspace in the Middle East now where there are any hostile actions (fortunately). |
no idea where the rape metaphor thing came from.. pilots requested 35k.. is it usual to change that altitude when that is the only plane in a rather large area? i don't really even understand the argument. if i was on a plane flying over pew pew.. id want as much room as possible. or not even flying over it at all.
when this happened, they were flying over ukraine and not syria. after this happened, they closed ukraine and opened syrian airspace. not sure how long that was happening for however
