Huh, I always just assumed there was some sort of "emergency" procedure for flight staff, in a case like that. Them having to wait in the international area of the airport and getting some sort of temporary pass, or them being on a list, which exempts you from needing a pass as long as you don't leave the airport. Because what do they do, if they notice something later, when they're after the point, where they've got enough fuel for a return, or if they notice after landing?
For that matter why does an airline pilot even need a physical copy of their passport? Whatever credentials they have showing they are the pilot should be enough for them to be legally in the country for a certain amount of time.
