Aircraft flying that high are basically operating under VFR rules anyway
and
don't have to talk to anyone. Once he decsended below 50,000 he would
need
more than just "flight foillowing" ... he'd need a full IFR clearnce.


He'd need an IFR clearance a bit higher than 50,000 feet, Class A airspace
exists between 18,000 MSL and FL 600.
