As an aside to this story. The captain on his went to the Japaneses consulate in New York a few days after this occurred. He was basically told had the crew continued they was a strong probability the crew would have been put under quarantine in a local hotel for up to ten days.

Ask the duty chief to have dispatch send you a printer message under his signature stating his position you are legal to go. Most likely he will re-consider. If not, you now have written proof of his argument.

As an aside to this thread - I've been using Google Voice for the past few months and it offers a feature that lets you record your outgoing or incoming calls via one touch from a cell phone. The recording is automatically transcribed to text (varying degrees of success there), and the recording can be published to the net in a few clicks.

It's not open to the public yet, but would have been of use to the crew in this case. You can get in line for an account here:

Sounds like Captain Stank needs to be made aware of this program:
