Anyone remember the Mount Erebus crash ?

My thought exactly.
Mine, too. Someone changed the waypoint coordinates in that tragedy.

We had a recent event, similar in a way. The passenger knew where he was supposed to go. The person he told knew where he wanted to go. We were given another destination in print. Suddenly, on final approach, it was all the fault of the crew. Thankfully we had sufficient fuel to go to the other destination. No big deal in our case, but there's nothing like telling the people actually doing the job what the real plan is supposed to be.
