I don’t see how the UK Test & Trace system can have any authority in another country, to be honest.

They don’t. But the pilot was in the UK… I wonder if it would apply on a BA aircraft outside the UK? As they were at LHR it was relatively easy to get new pilots, but if they weren’t I wonder if BA control would just say eff it let’s go, and the pilots can self isolate back in London (rather than 10 days crew hotel, 200 pax hotel, fly out a new set of pilots)

Very bad luck, if they called him 30 minutes later his phone would be off. Feels like an extraordinary circumstance to me
