Driving is a different story,every authority in the world takes that risk by issuing licenses.But compared to the risk of issuing a pilot license is minimal,here we are talking about hundred thousands dollars cost of fuel,flight disruptions...etc.
My opinion is that a country that issues pilot licenses so easy to everyone as other countries would give a motorbike 50cc license they should at least pay a penalty to a country that they could cause an incovenience like this.(and raise their training standards or become more cautious who they give licenses to)
