You're responding to me. I didn't mention Safdar. You just did.
With the stupidity about hiring mercenaries to "rescue" a crew that was legally held under Dominican law, one must consider that it's possible the crew or airline was involved. One must consider that passengers were involved. One must consider that the client was involved. One must consider that none of the above were involved. Regardless, the detention of the aircraft and crew was legal under Dominican law. The Canadian government saw fit not to push that issue, and the RCMP stated at the time of detention that the act was legal.
An airline which desires to continue operating internationally would best be served by not hiring mercenaries to extract an aircraft and crew that are legally detained.
