The Taliban are going to capture a plane and then use the onboard food to torture their high value prisoners.
Why not just play a speech of Biden slurring his teleprompter words.
They are using commercial airlines so that people won’t notice them unloading terrorist at their local airports.
Take them all to Saudi. They started it.
They can now be called Southwest Asia Airlines...
Seriously this is nothing new. The administration has activated the CRAF (Civilian Reserve Air Fleet) program. All of the major carriers are part of the program. They are activated at times when the Air Mobility Command needs extra passenger and cargo airlift capabilities. Airlines like FedEx are also in the program. Any of you vets out there may recall flying big Atlas Air planes to overseas destinations. It’s the same thing, CRAF...
I thought Southwest’s planes didn’t have the range???
Why do Americans have to sit by and just watch this — WHO has the power to put all of this in motion??
None of us want it. Why does it always get foisted on us???
Who directs all this crap???
These are not Americans. Americans have been abandoned by the mass of cytoplasm in the White House. Americans were told to have 2,000 ready for the flight. Non-Americans fly free, with complimentary prayer rug, courtesy of your tax dollars.
NO PICTURES.
OUR Pentagon thugs don't want us to know they're filing planes with afghan men of fighting age and ZERO Americans.
Why?
Because the 'brass' wants 'help' in the next hellhole by promising citizenship AND paying a big wage. In short Pentagon thugs are protecting themselves and their future missions... and to hell with American caught in Afghanistan and to hell with Americans here who have to assimilate these people.
Maybe these Afghans would have fought longer than 11 days if they thought there wasn't a free ticket out of the hellhole... ever think about that you stupid Pentagon Generals?
All of this would have been stopped if our effing representatives on the Republican side would have put the pressure on jester Biden and his administration resignations! I’m sick and tired of being considered second instead of them putting America first! Sick of it! And yes there will be a civil disobedience war but unfortunately we are going to have to fight the left the Pentagon, tbe CIA DOJ the newly imported Afghanistan jihadist, antifa and the BLM control by the DOJ...it’s going to get ugly. This country is at a breaking point and I don’t think we can survive the coming collapse.
IAD to BIF is plenty in range.
I certainly hope they’re not using female flight attendants on these flights.
Seriously.
You are right the 737-XXX nor the 737 Max series have the legs to do a direct Kabul run. The Max 8 & 9 and the 737-800,900 have enough legs to do JFK to Ireland, Iceland or the UK or the Azores for fuel stops but with the heavys on duty there is no reason to not use the wide bodies for the long haul.
“Southwest’s domestic charter operations, however, are “separate from the international CRAF activation,” the carrier said. “
Southwest is moving them around the USA once the big boys and their 777s,787s and Airbus heavys get them on this side of the pond.
