Political considerations may preclude naming the pilot (or his nationality).
Rickair, what value added is there in releasing the name of aircrew involved in a mishap where no death occurred? That information is certainly available under FOIA(JAGMAN) and as such can be obtained by other means. In this case the latter part of your post is certainly true.
