And it would provide a great backdrop for introducing Killian's father, who had abandoned Killain and Liam as children. Maybe he didn't abandon them, but was trapped on the Flying Dutchman, and has suffered it's fate (giving a means of introducing Killian's dad in present day).

But I would be fine with Treasure Island being introduced. I just don't see them doing The Flying Dutchman as a ship that Killian's father encounters, and then not have him be Davy Jones. I'm actually wondering if they are steering clear of all things in the Pirates movies, because they know it will lead to too much confusion, and 5 million people on Twitter asking "where's Jack Sparrow?" Maybe that's why Killian's father is not Davy Jones.
