It's a flipping auto flight system every transport category airplane built since about 1943 has some form of an auto flight system. The 777 has one of the most reliable and accurate ones ever built.

Thanks for the tech tip there Skippy! After thousands of hours of oceanic flying I was wondering how in the world we kept in contact and navigated up to till now I figured it was just black magic and blind luck.

Hope your right surestrike,

Right about what? The fact that your are too stupid to know that you just posted a link to the description of a standard commercially available auto flight system and thought it was some kind of a conspiracy breakthrough? Or that I just pointed that fact out to your dumb ass?

just entertainment.

That is where you and I differ I don't find entertainment in human death and suffering. I prefer to stick to the facts and the fact of the matter is until they find this airplane and until they recover the CVR and FDR (black boxes to ignorant morons like you, they're actually orange) we won't know what happened or have any facts. That is the only non variable about this incident at the present moment. And until they are able to locate those critical components people like you should STFU!
