Was Flight 815 Really Off Course?

Were the pilot and Cindy involved in a plot to find or prevent
the finding of the Island? Crazy question, I know, but . . .

When Jack, Kate and Charlie find the cockpit, the body of
the co-pilot falls out the cockpit door, but the pilot and
passengers are strapped in. Why is the co-pilot not strapped
in, yet dead? Did the pilot take him out before he took out
the radio? Was he in league with someone to bring these
people to the Island as some think or was he even employed
by the same people employing Naomi in an attempt to locate
the Island? Was the pilot killed by Smokey because of this?

And Cindy, Cindy knew the radio was out and that they were
off course, she seemed genuinely frightened of the people stealing
passengers from the Tailie beach, but now she's very integrated
into the Others and her disappearance was very suspicious.
Why take Cindy so close to the Fusies and from a group unless
she's "One of You?"

How Did Jack, Locke and Rose Get
From Here

To Here










Here







And Here?








Jack and Rose were sitting on Flight 815 next to one another
when the turbulence hit and Locke was one row behind Rose.
But when the plane crashed, Jack landed in the jungle, Locke
was on one part of the beach and Rose on another part of the
beach.

And they weren't the only passengers who were together on the
plane that were separated on the beach.

• Jin is looking for Sun.
• Michael is looking for Walt.
• Shannon and Boone are separated though in all fairness that might be Boone's choice.
• Kate and the Marshal are separated though that may be Kate's doing.
• And everyone's favorites Nikki and Paolo are separated too.

I'm no Dr. Arzt, so is there a reason people would be so scattered
over the crash scene?
