I've too have done class 2 extended overwater operations, flown into countries where English is probably their 3rd or 4th language at best while dealing with some nasty terrain avoidance, hell, I had a "heavy" A300, crash on approach 45 min after I landed in one of these foreign countries, killing all 3 crew and two on the ground. Did all this in a CRJ.
