Last winter, I wrote here wondering why we don't just put one of those little $100 Spidertracks or Spot GPS things in airliners that GA planes, sailors, etc. use as an interim measure in the wake of MH 370. With no further reference to that flight, it seems absurd that we don't know where hundreds of people are in a quarter billion dollar piece of metal at all times. Now here we are a year later wondering where a plane is, although they'll find this sad flight very quickly, but n the age of tracking your spouse's phone to determine if they are having an affair, the airline industry is still writing SOS on a beach somewhere. Come to think of it, if airline pilots are increasingly getting iPads, can Apple track Capt X's or FO Y's ipad?
