Craft Jet On the Move

Correct. IFR conditions today required use of flight vectors. Wherever it's going, it won't be direct like yesterday during VFR conditions.It's flying to Connecticut. It had to take this flight path to avoid the heavy storms in New York:
Lancaster picking up some Amish butter.
It’s been confirmed that Nate Oats was actually the first call but they were unwilling to negotiate his $18 million buyout.
I do think Scott Drew has received the only actual offer, but Oats was the original first target.
Although that doesn't necessarily mean he was top of the list. An AD in MBs situation has to get his ducks in a row to see what his true options are. His call to Bama's AD (a friend) to ask about the buyout is standard procedure to see of Oats would even be an option. Once the AD said no negotiation on the buyout, it was over for Oats as a potential option, hence the surprising message Oats sent out right away.
Kind of an interesting pattern. Settling in around 26, 27k ft and heading directly east now.
That sombitch is headed right for new jersey.
What the hell am I doing? I'm 44 yrs old and watching a plane tracker instead of doing work.
Looks like it's turning north again!

I hope Mitch brought the vault key to Ft. Knox with him.
I can't work following this damn plane.
If it makes you feel any better, I’m 51 and have yet to open my work laptop…sitting on my couch in flannel pants and coffee looking at my phone…
If it goes past Philly start warming daffy up in the bullpen.
Well it is damned clear this plane is going to New England.
Looking at past history on this Craft plane, they haven’t gone up there in the last few months.
Holy shitballs. Could this be a pickup for Hurley for an interview? Or maybe picking up HIS wife and family for a tour?

It's still pretty high to be Philly. Youd' start seeing 750ft-1000/ft minute descent for that. And that's a steep descent.
They wouldn’t be on vectors for an entire flight to avoid storm cells. They would have planned the original route that way. Flight plans don’t have to just be departure to arrival. It can easily be departure—multiple gps or vor waypoints or following victor airways — destination. But the overall concept of it not being direct due to weather holds true
Damn plane better be heading to Connecticut. Im going to need to keep a close eye on this. I apologize to my boss in advance.
If this plane passes philly at 26000ft, oh my its about to get rowdy in here. Heading straight toward Connecticut.
