The New York Times is reporting the Pentagon may enlist the nation’s major airlines in preparing for war against Iraq by reactivating what’s known as the Civilian Reserve Air Fleet. Airlines who take part include Delta, Northwest, American, Continental, United and US Airways. Cargo carriers include Federal Express, DHL and UPS. It can be a lucrative business. During the Gulf War, the Pentagon gave the carriers $1.5 billion to carry troops and equipment to the Gulf.
