In the squads I was a member of, squad loyalty trumped country loyalty every time and although there was some grumbling a couple of times when we switched countries, none of my squaddies refused to switch or turned against the squad. A couple of us had shades accounts and most likely flew occasionally for their country of preference, but they wouldn't fly their shade account when a squad event was underway.
I'd say boot that guy from the squad because he obviously prefers to fly with other people. It's not a crisis, just one guy preferring to fly with other people. No big deal, but if he prefers "them" over "us", he probably shouldn't be in the squad any longer.
And that isn't telling him how to play the game either... If you want a squad that does their own thing and couldn't care less who they fly with, then ok fine it's your squad. But I think most squads are made up of people who like flying with each other more than they like flying with other people. Booting someone from a squad isn't telling them how to play the game, rather it's simply affirming how the REST of the squad wants to play, by flying with their squaddies.
IMHO. Personally, I figure someone who won't fly with his squad because of a simple country change ought to have enough class to quit the squad before he is booted. But that's just how I roll. Besides, some of my finest squad experiences in WB/AH came when my squad switched countries just for the chance to beat up on our friends in other squads who remained in the original country. We'd switch for a little while, whup on each other just for the chance to have some good honorable fights against the people we already knew we liked, and then later switch back and together our squads would spend an evening utterly dominating the entire arena. Fun stuff, but it only worked because we liked flying with our squads more than we liked flying with other people or other squads. That made all the difference, and we were GOOD because of it (re: the old squad "The Flying Pigs" and BYACAW "Barn Yard Animals Composite Air Wing" made up of a half-dozen of the coolest squads ever).
And we didn't give each other grief about shades accts, so nobody in the squad started griefing the rest of the squad. I think our one big bout of internal strife was actually over football, of all things
