Not management at all... just have a lot of experience flying in/out of Kabul/Bagram.
High altitude: you mean like Denver?
Sink rate: oh no... the box is yelling at me but if I plan accordingly I know it’s going to happen.
Lasered in the eye: please... I’ve been lasered more times in the states than over there.
It’s really not a big deal! But guess some people handle pressure better than others.

The difference is that some guy who isn't potentially getting shot at on approach to Kabul is making 2x the money to have a nice easy approach into Omaha. Know your worth. It's great you are cool flying into Kabul for a discount and think it's peaches and cream there. Bet the Instagram pics are worth it.

I have spent enough time there that I do not need a picture to remember what it’s like there. It’s not “peaches and cream” as you put it, but it’s also not like landing to hot a LZ.

You folks need to come up with a better example of you being underpaid. Guys and gals are being paid lots less near Kabul to make combat assaults and medivac flight so you are coming across as stealing somebody else’s thunder so to speak when you use Kabul for any comparison.
