Over 200 flights canceled as German pilots refuse to deport rejected asylum seekers

Pilots in Germany are refusing to deport rejected asylum seekers, leading to the cancelation of more than 200 flights. 
 
A freedom of information request revealed that 222 scheduled flights were forced to be canceled over the course of 2017 as pilots refused to play a part in returning people to Afghanistan, which is still reeling from years of occupation by Western forces.

Deutsche Welle reports that 140 of the canceled flights were to take off from Frankfurt Airport, which is the largest in the country. Dusseldorf Airport, where activist groups regularly hold demonstrations against deportation, saw 40 flights canceled.

    House them in the pilot's homes, if / when they release them back into the population. Make them buy their actions.

    Problem still there, but with those who extend it.
