What do you think would happen to civil aviation in case of war ?
Would the state/army commandeer both the airplanes and their pilots (all of them) in order to support the military effort ??
I remember when the Cold War seemed to suddenly go to warm, before dying out completely under Thatcher and Reagan, that this was discussed in the Civil Airlines. Some of my fellow Dan-Air pilots seemed quite relaxed about the proposition that our aircraft would be requisitioned to move troops quickly to various European destinations in the event of warm becoming even warmer. When told that they would be similarly requisitioned, some of them suddenly took umbrage. Quite who else they thought would be piloting our aircraft had presumably been rather overlooked!
Of course, all that was well before NATO became compromised by EU policy and the threat of an EU Army...
