There was a story 2 or 3 days ago about Project Dynamo evacuating about 40 people.
Back in the 1980s....this airline ‘seat-game’ was exercised in Zimbabwe. The gov’t start to dictate x-number of seats had to be used for gov’t VIPs exiting the country. This would occur suddenly without warning....leaving the airline with angry tourists stuck there for several days.
My humble guess is that various men have been dictated to cooperate (leaving their family members as hostage members) while working for cheap labor in some neighboring country. This would require the ‘seat-game’ to be exercised and could screw the airline over with last-minute changes.
This is the Taliban’s ‘turf’ so whatever they desire...they get. If the airlines are that unhappy...just halt operations for 30 days and see how willing they are to re-establish flight operations.
A lady I know who was in Benghazi up until a night or two before the 9/11 terrorist attack is working to get Americans and green card holders out of Afghanistan. I haven’t asked her, but I suspect it’s because the Americans in Benghazi were hung out to dry by the Odumbo/Billary administration.
Not many people know that Amb. Stevens was in Benghazi prepping for a Hillary victory lap in November. It was the Khadaffi loyalists that got the Americans out of Benghai & Libya.
