#4All the info from ATC is in that just vague enough category that you wonder if it’s just a language barrier issue or if what you’re thinking is really happening.
I feel like the pilot knew something was off, but eventually went along with it because he didn’t really have any other choice.
Is Belarus going to become another country international airlines avoid flying over?

#7> Pilot: Again, this recommendation to divert to Minsk where did it come from? Where did it come from? Company? Did it come from departure airport authorities or arrival airport authorities?
Is it usual for a pilot to ask for all this information? From a "casual reader" perspective, it looks like the pilot really did not want to divert, but this might just be my reading.

Huh? Where exactly in that transcript does the pilot explicitly say “no”? Where are you getting the information that agents on the plane hijacked it?
