Awww damn not good, those guy's are working daily under such extreme weather situations that accidents are more likely to happen than in the western world.
Quoting sturmovik (Reply 4): Out of curiosity, does the An-12 typically have 9 crew?
I flew the An12 twice with both times 8 crew onboard. Crew included an flight engineer, technical engineer, 2 loadmaster, navigator, 3 pilots (one standing in between the 2 pilot seats)
