Pentagon compels commercial airlines to help with evacuation
Pentagon compels commercial airlines to assist with evacuation (www.foxbusiness.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
To demand that commercial passenger aircraft fly into a war zone would be a crime. They have no defensive systems nor fighter escorts. A fully loaded B-787, if shot down, would result in Millions of dollars of taxpayer money being paid to settle the law suites that would follow.
And did you even read the article? The civilian aircraft aren't flying into Kabul, but rather are transporting people from safe staging areas after they were moved there by military aircraft. Try reading the article before you comment on it.
Didn’t you read everything above?! They are required to provide aircraft..
This goes back before WW2. Companies that contract with the Government have clauses in the contract that in time of national emergency have to perform work that the government requires. One example was the Alaskan Highway. They needn’t worry. They are compensated well.
Wasn’t this the same program that Ernest Gann documented so well in “Fate is the Hunter,” before during and after the Second World War?
The Headlines Will Jump Off Of The Page When One Of These Passenger Airliners Gets Shot Down !!!!
