Thoughts on when the flashbacks took place

[Tahami]

OK, in Confirmed Dead, the four flashbacks introducing the new characters all were roughly the same time, because in each there was "breaking news" type announcements or newspapers indicating that Oceanic 815 was just found. (Also, the news reports stated that the plane was found by the Christianna I, so it now seems that the recent game, Find 815 was indeed tied into the show.) I am a little confused about the timeline in terms of the discovery of the plane, Naomi's drop onto the island, and the last flashback when Naomi met with Abaddon to assemble her team. Obviously, Naomi met with Abaddon prior to her reaching the island. But at that meeting, the four chopper folks were already assembled for her team. Was that team assembled before the plane was discovered. Or more to the point, when was the plane discovered in relation to island time, and are these four flashbacks of the chopper folks before or after Naomi's meeting with Abaddon? If after, why? If before, the timeline doesn't work

Approciate if anyone has a logical timeline for all of the above, Thanks.

i wish i had something useful for you but i don't! i feel like nothing is for sure with all of that stuff you just mentioned and it makes my head want to explode. at least for me, there is nothing definitive enough to create a theory. i just need to wait for more pieces of the puzzle. sorry!

I'm more confused now from reading that post! I found 'Confirmed dead' quite frustrating cos the whole start of it I was just confused, wondering what the hell that Miles guy was doing. I felt that I somehow got more out of Hurley's flash forward than with four flashbacks! I'm just dying to see more!

yes it makes my head hurt lol!

i cant think of any clues for the time during miles and charlottes flashbacks but it seemed clear that frank and daniel's were set when they found the plane but cant tell you the exact date the plane was found as i am not sure if thats been confirmed (correct me if i am wrong) and therefore we would naturally assume that the other 2 lashbacks were at the same time.
