Running away?



I took this to mean quitting without notice and staying to live in Canada.

Reminds me of the California gold rush. So many passenger ships were stranded in the bay because the crews would just quit en-masse once they arrived and saw what was going on.


How does that work? Do pilots have an automatic visa / permanent residency to places they fly to?


I assumed by "running away" they meant they'd just leave the airport and live as undocumented/illegal immigrants.


They just land, escape from the hotel and apply for asylum.
