In Canada at that altitude, we'd take you 2,000 feet above that restricted airspace so the lowest you could be is 34,000 feet. Would that extra 1,000 feet have been enough to get them out of the missile's range? Probably not, but maybe worth mentioning.

No. Unfortunately with that SAM it was basically all or nothing for anything commercial
