A small 'curiosity'.

It's a curse, but since this all happened, the 'Curiosity bump' has been nagging (quietly) away in the background. The flight plans and etc. are interesting and no doubt the result of some diligent work; well done and thank you.

But, what has always intrigued me is the response of 'other crew'. It is 'normal' when the weather is liquid and lousy to warn the crew that it may be 'bumpy' and we may make several heading changes, to step around the weaher, it may add some time as fuel is 'tight' but, we'll keep you updated. Routine stuff; crew well familiar.

However; this aircraft essentially made several major heading changes to an almost reversed course. Shirley! Someone in the crew must have noticed – this ain't right; contacted the flight deck to ask WTD is going on. No matter the answer; it must, sooner or later have raised some concerns. Provided everyone was alive and kicking at the time. Was there a sky Marshall on board? Did the crew not demand answers once they realized that all was not as it should be.

But, to me at best the solution lies within any 'communication' the aircraft had with government. Were there threats made to sacrifice aircraft and all if negations failed? But, most intriguing question of all is was the Captain actually in full command of his aircraft?

Just a Saturday night thought or two over a beer; but non the less intriguing. Handing over.

Toot toot.
