once again, you prove you have no clue what you are talking about.

first of all, a private aircraft is not comparable to a major commercial airliner.
if it takes 15 minutes to scramble jets for a private personal airplane in distress, it should take no more than 15 seconds to scramble those fighter jets when a major commercial airliner is involved in an emergency situation. intercept procedures have been in place since the 1950s when NORAD was founded.

but keep dreaming!
