Anyone know if Kabul Tower controllers were contractors and thier status?

[Romeo-Zulu]

Not political. Just wondering how they faired through that evacuation and sending support. Could of been any of us who considered contracting work at on point in our lives!!!

About a week ago I seen a story that the military took over ATC at the airport and they showed them doing it out of a tent on the field so I assume the ATC contractors were on one of the first flights out once the military moved back in.

"their company IAP had been telling them to just keep working, that IAP was possibly working on a deal to continue providing ATC and airfield services even after the Taliban took over.”

No profiteering to be seen here, no sir! All about supporting that US mission, glad we could be of service!

Also ya that's gonna be a hard no from me boss man, get me the hell out yesterday. I'd honestly like to know what the company line was as the dominoes were falling in the weeks before.

Wild story.

That’s crazy, the contractor company was like Chip Diller on Animal House

We made it out, all of us did. I know the public would’ve known by now if there was something that happened to anyone of us. I was one of the controllers and it was not exactly fun but a story that I can live to tell.
