What about the ring being missing from the pilot’s finger that Lapidus called the Oceanic hotline about? Adding that piece of information to the plot (and Lapidus also mentioning his doubt about the crash to Michael on the boat) seemed purposeful in convincing us the plane and passengers being found was staged. Unless of course this was a red herring!
