I was discussing this with a wokist who disputed my opinion of what is happening in Austria with the big influx of Muslim refugees, especially Afghans.

I did a search, I use SwissCows, using:
afghan austria refugees crime assault statistics

These were at the top of what came up, not a selection:

As a contracting officer for the USAF I was familiar with the CRAF (Civil Reserve Air Fleet) program while stationed at Scott AFB in 1986-1988. The program was designed to encourage airlines to make cargo capability available to the USAF in the event the Air force's own cargo planes didn't have enough capacity in emergencies. Airlines that signed up for the program were given passenger business based on the amount of cargo capability they would make available if called upon to do so. Some airlines (Flying tigers for one) had almost exclusively cargo aircraft so it was easy for them to commit to CRAF and in return Flying Tigers leased two 747's to fly US troops and families year around. Other airlines took a bit more coaxing because they would have to convert their passenger planes in order to haul military cargo. In 1988 when last I was involved in the CRAF program, FedEx refused to participate. My point is that airlines did not need incentives to participate for hauling passengers because THAT IS WHAT THEY DID! And the military paid a per seat price that was profitable because it was based on what it cost to fly as opposed to what the market would bear. Unless something has drastically changed since 1988, airlines would be fighting to get the passenger business on the governments terms without a CRAF. Perhaps the CRAF was activated to reward the airlines that did participate in the program?

The airline equivalent of the commandeering of the train lines from Atlas Shrugged?

They are going to bring A LOT of Afghanis into the US under the guise of political asylum. They won't be vetted, and we'll have a real domestic mess on our hands. I hope I'm wrong...

What if one of these airline aircraft gets taken out by a rocket? They won't be up on tactical landings, etc.

gee
i thought the Civilian Air Fleet was for transporting US and Allied Troops
not to cover for political screw-ups

legally can this be done? I know the fedgov can ask and/or contract those private companies but can they order them?

The comments in the article ask a pertinent question...Where oh where are all the military planes?
Maybe the pentagon stepped in this way cause biden wouldn't let the air force get the people out?...or did Trump suggest this to the pentagon. Kaylee did say he was working on a way to get people out.
