Was there a questionmark BOAC? Kind of QED...
So your suggestion is to intercept the ILS without clearance and without declaring a Pan or a Mayday? Just do it...
Screwing up ATC's plan, possibly endangering other peoples lives in other aircraft, cause you are in command...
As I said the only possibility is to declare a Mayday. But to me it sounds a bit foolish to plan your alternate fuel with a mayday in mind. But thats exactly what overoptimistic alternate route planning does.
And from what I get that is pretty much what airlines are doing in Europe.
And yes EASA can do something about that!
You sound more like a spotter to me, command also extends outside your own aircraft.
