As I see it the search, and identification of the crash remains for QZ8501 has been conducted professionally and well within the normal time frame for any crash in any remote place, land or sea.
We have a thread for MH370 issues, this crash has absolutely nothing to do with that incident and it's resolution had nothing to do with intelligent ELTs, burst data transmissions or whatever. Things might have gone marginally quicker if the airline had paid for EICAS but why are people discussing satellites when the AC was in VHF range? Please take this stuff to the MH370 thread - or start, or use, a suitable generalised technical thread.
Possibly links to AF447 are perhaps understandable, if premature, but bad mouthing Airbus might have more to do with the 787s problems than this crash or 447.
One thing occurs to me though is whether 14,000 hours flying oldish fighter planes is likely to make one a better or worse pilot for fly by wire 'busses. Maybe we should be giving the seats to proficient gamers instead.
