The search for surface debris seems to be getting nowhere. Maybe the majority of the resources should be directed towards finding the FDR and CVR. Battery time is running out.
What a great idea. Why don't you post exactly where to begin this resource towards finding the FDR and CVR. If you find the airplane, battery time is no longer all that important.
A few posts back, I suggested the following. And this could have been started days ago, or longer, once they got the pinger detector here.
Start with the detector on the 40 degree line and tow it on a path along that line, the offset to one side in mile or so wide increments (depending on the range of the detector) and make another pass the other way...keep doing it offset to each side.
It's a longshot but it's SOMETHING and it only requires one boat to do this. It must be equally as worthy as chasing garbage around the SIO trash gyres.
