Old Cessna,
Doubt that there are remotely interested. As long as someone is bringing in the Pilgrims that is all they are worried about. Remember in 2001 we blew an engine as we turned onto the runway, spat bits out the back which broke a couple of runway lights. We shut the engine down and taxied back in. There was hell to play, interviews etc we were kept on the aircraft with all the pax till the initial paperwork was done. They then let us get off and we took the pax and another aircraft to the destination.....all in a crew duty day....not.....The aircraft was then 2 engine ferried under the noses of the Saudis without their permission infact they had said we were not to do it.It was not me that was for sure. We still had to operate into Saudi but there were no problems with the authorities. If they were that concerned they would have done something!!!!!! They will not do any thing that will screw up the Pilgrims end of story,
