Thread about iO & Dec 15, 2015

In his December 2019 witness statement for NGN, iO added a very interesting & specific detail to his witness statement: he watched the infamous James Corden show "on the plane"

Interesting fact: if iO flew into LAX this would have been impossible.

On 12/16, after texting AH that he was trying to get an earlier flight, iO sent another text at 1:41 pm PST (about an hour later) saying he was getting in at 11.

Thanks to @LightRey & flight data we know that there weren't direct Delta flights from Cincinnati to LA.

After this, I divert from @LightRey findings only cause more info is now available through the trial that than they had at the time, specifically the texts between iO & AH

Namely iO texts AH that he arrives at 11 & will "call in a sec" at 16:41 (Cincinnati), the "call" part eliminates all but 1 flight (2487 to ATL) as the others departed before 16:41 & the text makes no sense if iO was already in flight.

Also fits w/ iO's 5:49 pm SS on the plane

And interestingly, amongst the flights that were scheduled to arrive in LAX around 11 pm that day (the other part of the text), was a flight from ATL scheduled to arrive at 10:55 pm PST.

There were no delays, the plane even arrived 21 mins early at 10:34 pm PST.

That said, if I'm mistaken on the above flight details, it should also be noted (for the next point) that the LAST Delta plane to arrive at LAX* on 12/16/15 did so at 11:33 pm PST.

*iO could have arrived at another airport. Ticket records would be needed to be 100% sure

Why does all this matter?
Because the infamous James Corden interview didn't air until *11:37 PM PST* that day. So iO could not have possibly watched the show ON THE PLANE if he arrived at LAX.

Counter: He still could have watch the show.
Yes, but he specifically said he watched it on the plane, which is a rather unnecessary detail that only seems to be an attempt to cover for previously inconsistencies found.
