* If Oceanic 815 reversed course under visual flight rules, the passengers would probably have noticed. They would have felt the turn and noticed the changed direction of the sun, coming in from the opposite side of the cabin. Almost certainly, frequent travelers (which we can expect on a transPacific flight) and aviation-savvy passengers such as Sayid, would have noticed. Yet none of the survivors have ever mentioned this... except two members of the crew, one of whom was apparently killed by the security system immediately after sharing this information, and the other who disappeared mysteriously, perhaps captured by the Others.

* Under NORDO conditions, the pilot should have continued his planned route.
* From the estimated turnaround position, Pago Pago International Airport in American Somoa is the nearest divert airport. It has a 10kft asphalt runway, the same as NAN. There doesn't seem to be any good reason to prefer Fiji.
* Both of the surviving aircrew, when talking about the flight path, say very similar things, as if reciting a rehearsed line: "They don't know where to look" and "They're looking for us in the wrong place."
* Con:
* Their stories are consistent.
* Maybe he had more experience landing at NAN than Pago Pago, so he went with NAN.
* The repetition of "They're looking for us in the wrong place" is just an important plot point that the writers repeated for emphasis.
