Airlines change the composition of the crews due to the immigration decree Trump

Some airlines of the world revise not only the composition of passengers, but also the composition of crews on flights to the United States due to a ban on entering the country of citizens from Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somali, Sudan for 90 days, Reuters reports. In particular, we are talking about carriers such as Etihad Airways, Emirates and Turkish Airlines.

Previously, they asked tourist agencies not to sell tickets to the United States to Iranians, as well as prohibit landing on flights flying in the United States even to those Iranian citizens who have an American visa.

Emirates Airline (UAE, Dubai) ranks first in the world in terms of international passenger air transportation. Her planes fly daily in 11 American cities. Airlines had to exclude citizens of “prohibited” states from among pilots and flight attendants on aircraft heading to the United States.

Etihad airways (UAE, Abu Dhabi) noted that at present the ban does not affect its employees, but it takes measures to prevent problems in the coming weeks.

Qatar Airways refused to comment on the impact of the ban, although on Saturday the company's website came out that passengers should have a green card or a diplomatic visa for entering the United States.

According to the Air France-KLM, for Saturday and Sunday the number of passengers who are not allowed on board due to the fact that they are citizens of states falling under the ban has reached 20 people. Representatives of Egyptair said that the restrictions introduced by the United States do not bring sufficient clarity to the question of who can be allowed to fly, so the airline began to send passengers to the American authorities in advance to get confirmation.

On Monday, it also became known that the well -known network of coffee houses Starbucks Corp plans to hire about 10 thousand refugees for working in 75 countries within five years. This was stated by the Chief Executive Director of Starbucks Howard Schulz, also reports Reuters.

In a letter sent to Starbucks employees, Schulz promised to do everything possible to support the injured workers.

US President Donald Trumpsigned a decree on the suspension of refugee reception program for 120 days, including Syrian - for an indefinite period. In addition, the document signed by him enters the limit to the maximum number of refugees that Washington are ready to accept - no more than 50 thousand during the 2017 financial year.

In addition, the decree provides for the ban on entry into the United States of seven mainly Muslim countries (Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somali, Sudan) for 90 days with the possibility of extension. The list can be expanded, the press service of the White House said.

The federal courts in at least five American states last weekend suspended the decree in terms of the immediate deportation of those who have already entered the country.

Certain mitigations are possible for owners of dual citizenship or residence permit in the United States with the right to employment (Green Card), but so far the statements of the American authorities on these issues contradict each other.

During the election campaign, Trump stated that such a measure was necessary in order to prevent the arrival of Islamists in the United States, including under the guise of refugees. Opponents of this measure indicated that immigration services were conducting all the necessary inspections in order to prevent extremists to come to the country.

The UN Office for Refugees and the International Migration Organization called for the Trump administration to continue to provide refuge to refugees.

Trump’s decision to ban on the entry of seven countries with the mainly Muslim population was negatively met by European leaders. In particular, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that "even a decisive fight against terrorism does not justify to suspect people of a certain origin or a certain religion."
