Alternative Flight Plan Listings

As it is disputed by Banescholars what the correct Flight Plan listed by CIA is, there are many different interpretations. This page is for all other interpretations than those already on the Flight Plan page.

### The "Bad Memory" Interpretation

This interpretation postulates that CIA does not actually correctly read the Flight Plan. He may have trouble reciting such a long list without being able to see it, or is overworked from doing the job of the entire CIA. Not being able to remember what names he has already read, he repeats some names, skipping others. The listing is as follows:

* Smee
* Maimen
* Dr. Pavel
* Heer

* Button Lee

* Juan Aviéu
* Fiores

CIA begins to forget what names he has already said, and doubting himself due to his smallness, starts repeating names just to be sure everybody hears.

* Juan (second time)
* Tiéu Toque
* Getzda
* Stane
* Mae
* Eric Raft
* Hugh Pediéu
* Tiéu (second time)
* Ghrab
* Dr. Pavel (second time)
* Hayden Flass O'Goode
* Hugh (second time)
* Juan (third time)
* Stout Ryan Axed
* Tallum E.
* Au Bowt
* Bane
* Wydosi Weir
* Thumb Asque
* Laut Aloe L. T.
* Phor
* Ahyred Gunn
* Atlís
* Hugh (third time)
* Kantaaq
* Hugh (fourth time)
* Aoure
* Hugh (fifth time)

It is notable that at this time, CIA lists Hugh three times nearly in a row. It is possible that this is simply CIA's subconscious fearing that Hugh will pee out the open door, and these worries manifest as part of the listing in CIA's tired and confused state.

* Eve Igh
* Pultha Toph
* Will
* Hugh (sixth time)
* Deigh
* Eeyore

It is unknown why CIA decided to reference the name of a children's book character during such a tense situation. This may be an attempt at humor to defuse the situation and avoid a fight. Bane appears not to understand CIA's joke.

* Abi Gai
* Voss Göeting
* Kaut Bartauv
* Eeyore (second time)

Either CIA does not remember telling Bane this 'joke', or he simply believes that Bane did not understand it, and is trying to repeat it to get Bane to understand.

* Pulan
* Will (second time)
* Khan Gradd
* Gel A. Jean's
* Hugh (seventh time)
* Gottier Zulf
* Kaut (second time)
* Nâvou Watts
* Dan X. Steppe
* Avyeu (fourth time)
* Urma Stiêr
* Planne
* Noh Thyse
* Kant B.
* "Happy" N. Ying
* Aymin Jarge
* Heer (second time)

Overall, this interpretation paints CIA as a forgetful, distracted person. It may also give an insight into CIA's and Bane's past together, as "Eeyore" appears to be an inside joke from their past. Hugh also seems to be mentioned a lot on the list. His prominence in CIA's mind has a multitude of possible explanations.

### The Minimalist Interpretation

While a significant number of the initiated interpret the Flight Plan to be a never-ending list throughout the Plane Scene, a newer way of understanding the Plan involves only CIA himself: "The Flight Plan I just/Ijuss filed with the Agency lists me." After making this statement, he then repeats this in the Hired Guns' native language, perhaps to bridge the gap between them and himself and allow the men to finally understand him. When they still do not respond, CIA feels disrespected and loses his temper, quickly turning into a hothead in the absence of his stance, and nearly shoots Amon before throwing him out of the Wreckage Brother, only to curb his anger at the last second.

According to this interpretation, "maimehn, doktapavol khir, bodonl' iuuanofyu" would be the translation made by CIA. It is unknown what language this is or how CIA knows it, but totally foreign phrases are spoken many times by CIA in several understandings of the Plane Scene. The language in question seems to be of Central Asian or Eastern Slavic descent, which would make sense due to the setting.
