yeah it would make some sense if the plane went down the north corridor as there is a "warm" current that runs that direction . I believe warm currents are generally closer to the surface as well. But on the south corridor, where they figured it went based on the skew from the planes pings, it seems it would have drifted south "under" Australia

However given time time I guess it could have drifter up the west coast of Australia and then across the indian ocean toward the islands that way.
