SIUYA.....would you mind posting what the relevent regulations say?
Basically, the Act says that a person is guilty of an offence if:
(a) the person engages in conduct; and
(b) the person is reckless as to whether the conduct will adversely affect an investigation that is being conducted at that time or that could be conducted at a later time into an immediately reportable matter; and
(c) the conduct has the result of adversely affecting such an investigation (whether or not the investigation had commenced at the time of the conduct); and
(d) the conduct is not authorised by the Executive Director.
Maximum penalty: Imprisonment for 6 months.
My guess would be both Emirates and the flight crew individually (unfortunately) might get caught by this provision.
