He went on to say that both the captain and the FO looked a bit "terroristy."

Analyzing from a transcript of an unconfirmed source that was translated 3 times from different languages......???? LOL! There is more credibility in the WWF at that point....!

Exactly what was programmed into the FMS? Oh that's right we don't know yet.

Well, along with crash courses in "aircraft everything," they are also psychologists. A lot of what I hear, see, and read in the media makes me cringe when it relates to my own field. I imagine you pilots have done a great deal of your own cringing with regard to theories about the missing aircraft.

Having this dude together with Anderson Cooper doing his handsome earnest serious thing (is that LeTigre?) has got to be one of the most absurd things I've seen on the news in a long time, the tragedy not withstanding.

Major fail for CNN.
uFly Simulator ? Mississauga, Toronto, Canada ? fly in a real B 777 200ER cockpit ?

The experience of thier pilot/instructors is conspicuously absent. So likely not even certified 777 instructors giving approved instruction for the purposes of ratings or currency, but essentially hacks of unknown experience giving amusement rides.

The network news media just went another few notches in credibility if there was any left.

THIS race to the bottom for finding any source, regardless of qualifications for a scoop is a story in itself.
