connection between plane navigation and computer on the ground?
according to the magazine E&T highlighted that physical link between plane's navigational and public or "officially" internet network. So does it mean that those agents could actually brought down these planes ?

Sudden thought.
E&T = ET = Roswell, hangar 84?
Probably not, for as the last time I was in hangar 84 in Roswell, there was a BAC1-11 in attendance, being stripped for spares.
A nice one too, I believe it used to belong to Tenneco, the US gas pipeline company.
Before they had the 1-11, they had a really nice Lockheed JetStar, which was eventually sold to Elvis, as I recall.
It still sits in the middle of ROW, still painted the fire engine red color.
I digress...what was the original question?

My favorite quote of the article:
Southwest is only just beginning to migrate from its traditional “round-dial cockpit philosophy”, which until recently dissuaded its pilots from using autopilots or autothrottles installed on their ‘next-generation’ Boeing 737s.
“Instead,” reveals Hughes, “the company standardised on the classic 737 cockpits and even installed metal covers on the switches of equipment it didn't want its pilots to use.”
