Nice to see Inmarsat explain their reasons for search locations , although still not convincing.
I thought that the 2 guys from Inmarsat were very honest in their explanations, although I admit I would like to have seen the chinagraph images the correct way round.

What more would you like to have for their conclusions to be convincing? Are you referring to the blog post here:

TMF Associates MSS blog » MH370: analysis of where to look?

that gives another set of points that seem to be further south west of the Inmarsat estimate? It may be that Inmarsat used different values for the winds aloft, or indeed this group of analysts have used incorrect values from alternative sources. I don't know if there is any really solid wind information for the area in question but added to the IAS uncertainty (has this been resolved?) it might be responsible for these differences.
