They sent a fighter jet. I don't think the pilot had much of a choice.

Yeah, this. No civil-aviation pilot is going to argue the fine points of law while in target range of an armed MiG.

Ai have serious doubts that they would date shoot down the plane, but obviously this is such a wild scenario for a normal pilot that they cannot be blamed for not turning it into a game of chicken
