Something odd here
Indonesia AirAsia (QZ) #8501 ? FlightAware
I raise this as an issue as if the flight is for whatever reason not 100% legal this may affect the captains decision making operationally so as not to draw attention to the flight
A regular line pilot would probably not even know if his rostered flight was in accordance with this or that route permit or air services agreement. Whole departments handle such things. Not pilots.
