I think the more concerning thing is this question appears to be asked in a way that's insulting to the pilot. What was the guy concerned about? Flight time? Fuel use? He could have made a polite question asking pilots on Twitter about what influences flight paths.

The pilot flying the plane obviously chose this path on purpose and this guy takes the very American position that admission of ignorance is a weakness.

I think most corporate pilots have a company center that works out the flight paths for them. This probably doesn't apply to private jets tho.
