Many pilots in Germany are refusing to participate in deportations, local media reported on Monday.
Following an information request from the Left Party, the government said that 222 planned flights were stopped by pilots who wanted no part in the controversial return of refugees to Afghanistan, which has been deemed a safe country of origin in some cases, despite ongoing violence and repression in parts of the country.
Some 85 of the refusals between January and September 2017 came from Germanys main airline Lufthansa and its subsidiary Eurowings. About 40 took place at Düsseldorf airport, where the controversial deportations are routinely accompanied by protesters on the tarmac. The majority of the canceled flights, around 140, took place at Frankfurt Airport, Germanys largest and most important hub.
Lufthansa spokesman Michael Lamberty defended personnel who chose not to fly deported people back to their countries of origin, saying that sometimes security was a concern. [ ]
As Germany stepped up deportations, the number of asylum seekers appealing their decisions has increased significantly. Nearly every second ruling made by the BAMF in the first half of the year was brought before a judge. This is nearly double the number of appeals made during the same period in 2016 as it stands now, the courts side with about one in every four asylum seekers who appeal their status. According to public broadcaster NDR, these suits have cost Berlin about 19 million ($22.5 million) from January to November 2017, an increase of 7.8 million from the previous year.

Hmmm...this smells like fake news to me. Some pilots refused; probably a lot did not.
Sure don’t fly them out so they can keep the scum around to rape their daughters.
Landing in Afghanistan & then taking off again with fuel they provided would concern me.
German Pilots Commit Suicide.
Tell Luthansa to instruct their pilots to make the flights or be fired, or lose all German government contracts of any kind.
You bring up some good points. Maybe intended or unintentional, but Putin is seeing the invasion as an opportunity to re-establish the, USSR. Whether Russia is broke or not, they have the ability to wrap up those smaller countries in their big, red blanket.
The Berlin Airlift - The Sequel.
The last German-Moscow or German-Turk alliance did not go too well, I would be worried...
And during the run-up to the onset of either war, there were carefully crafted conspiracy stories, written to justify and strengthen the hand of the actual socialist aggressor. It was necessary for the socialist to segregate and exterminate even before tank rounds started flying.
Some of these “stories” against Jews and Christians were believed for the better part of a generation, and thoroughly backed up by a more than willing, religiously secular left wing political class, socialist dominated German and Russian academia, and their agencies in media/press and entertainment.
Both Germans and Russians had carefully constructed the “scape goats”, to legitimize and suck just enough society into support for national socialist and soviet socialist causes and war.
Typical “scape goats” = Jews, Christians, and anti-socialists!
You are right, it has never turned out so well!
And while there would be several differences in the bigger equation if repeated, we truly could see an even more gruesome repeat of some kind. Some may well be thinking III’s the ticket! Of course this would never be for public consumption.
However, this time, what happened within German and Russian academia, media, entertainment, and their dependency classes, sounds more like an accurate reflection of OUR present climate. German more than Russian.
While we certainly have a reprieve with Trump in office, it would be foolish not to consider our own trigger or tipping point.
Generationally, 40% of our electorate would already vote for whoever was the socialist, every time!
Now, the largest voting block is fast becoming the 60% percent of Millennials who believe in socialism outright, if we are to believe the studies. To date, Millennials were the most thoroughly anti-American, secular, and socialist indoctrinated generation, to be religiously and militantly socialist and hate our own US Constitution, parliamentary governance, and nation. The left wing revisionists have done their jobs well.
The combination of our socialist dependency class, with the socialist millennials, and in light of the dwindling “baby boom generation”, will demand our attention, efforts, and sacrifice, if we are to have and pass liberty, (and America as we know it), to our children! We really need to roll back and re-educate many, or we are done.
I believe only an act of God in the hearts of men can ultimately work. Good and evil do exist, and the morality necessary for the existence of justice, and individual responsibility do not naturally happen in a vacuum, and in the face of a majority population which has been taught to vehemently hate the principles of morality and freedom which have sustained our liberty and sovereign nation.
As Americans, we need God, and we need to take a decisive stand for our freedom! We cannot be afraid.
I agree!
