    Why would they send jets before trying different frequencies?

    Seems like a waste of resources and too rapid of an escalation imo

      I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.

      Also, the airline pays for the jets.
