Why do it if it's not fun?

Flying in IMC in uncontrolled airspace without radar

On this thread in the Private Flying forum, the comment was made that:
Scheduled traffic does fly in... IMC without an RIS, outside CAS
I was wondering if any commercial pilots could confirm this, and give more details?

Does your company schedule flights outside CAS at times when it is known that no radar coverage is available, or would you only do this if radar went down? Do your SOPs distinguish between flying outside CAS on a direct routing or to cut a corner, as opposed to flying outside CAS to reach an airfield where the CTR/CTA dosen't join an airway? Are there any other requirements, e.g. TCAS?

Thanks!
