Glad I could help. The ME can be vastly entertaining if you are willing. Best.

As mentioned before, there are parts of the world where you are essentially on your own aviation-wise. Most people forget that radar is, for the most part, line of sight.

My guess is that there will be some fixes (expendables from the aircraft, redesign of transponders, more than one black box, one of which can float, etc.) based on this incident.
