Drifting quite a bit off thread but Akula makes, succinctly, the point that there is probably a greater need for Operators to formally remind pilots of the need to be very aware of local laws and restrictions. Moreover, of the very considerable lack of support that would be forthcoming from the Employer ( well, they are not going to do that, are they ?) but more especially, the lack of support from National Foreign Offices.
Few of us missed your point, Akula, but the kind of support you rightly suggest is more than a dream away for us ordinary airframe drivers.
You are not suggesting it,I know, but full diplomatic immunity and full consular support would be fabbo , eh ?
Without it, knowing it, I have reigned in, a few times, just. Close call though but it goes with the territory,I guess.
