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.

Allowing 3rd world kangaroo courts detain your assets and personnel for extended periods of time without actual due process is bad business.

Part of going to another country is that you are subject to the laws of that country.
“Due process” is not a universal, or universally-defined concept.

You do understand that The Dominican Republic is a sovereign nation and is within their rights to enforce their laws, right? Also, like with the U.S.A., the DR has an extradition treaty with Canada, which indicates that certain legal standards have been met.
