Wasn't that borderline violation of the FARs 91.211? (30 mins above 12,500

What is a "borderline violation"?

Is the same as almost but not quite contrary to the regulations? If so,
then you've answered your question.

... and if the altimeter setting for more than 30 minutes of the route was
below 29.92, then it WAS violation..., no???


The regulation is pretty clear in stating that the relevant altitude is
"pressure" altitude.

In Canada it would be violation for sure, cause they want Oxygen for the
crew if more that 30 mins above pressure Altitude 10,000.....
