    The official Malaysian position appears to be to deny the possibility that the pilot went "rogue", despite it being the most likely scenario, according to many aviation experts. There is evidence he had plotted an eerily similar course to what the lost plane is thought to have taken, on a flight simulator. The suggestion is that the loss of "face" for the Asian country, in having the pilot as the cause, is too much to countenance. I can't imagine this attitude is helping get to the bottom of what happened, because in the event a flight recorder is retrieved, it might contradict that official line. If the pilot wanted to ditch the plane where the evidence would be devilishly difficult to find, he picked the place well.

    Maybe as far south as within range, and as far as possible from islands, so when drawing a circle around all islands, it might be in the widest gap.

    You know some people still read things that are printed on old fashioned paper. If its important to you for some reason, you can go dig it up yourself.

    There is speculation that the pilot's political activism against the govt at the time, might have been a motive, but really he would have to have been a madman to kill hundreds in the cause of bringing embarrassment to the govt. But it has been very damaging to their prestige, just the same.

    Do you really think I care what you think? In the same time you took to write that post you probably could have web searched up the actual contract terms.

    Except there are many much more horrible ways in which he could have done that though. 9/11 style attack, etc.

    No I don't think so, I've only uncovered you've posted self made up nonsense.

    Then we would not be speculating what happened. The way it transpired, he can't be pinned with any blame, but it is still very damaging to the state-owned airline. And of course, would anyone with a mind to do something like this, be thinking rationally, anyway. All we have to go on is aviation experts, and that the pilot is the responsible party, is their conclusion.

    Except its all speculation and blind pin-the-tail-on-the-who-has-the-least-power-n-able-to-defend-themselves. Rational thought is subjective. Human beings do horrible things all the time because they've rationalized it to themselves. It doesn't even take mental illness.

    The aviation industry is one of the most carefully managed of all, little is left to chance, if a whole bunch of experts see only one real option, I am not going to disagree, whatever the pilot's motives might have been, is not that relevant to what actually physically happened, the "nut behind the wheel" is much harder to analyse and trouble-shoot than technical equipment.

    I don't want to believe anything, but the Malaysian govt seemingly want to steer suspicion away from the pilot, toward a hi-jacking, I'd reckon the antecedents of the occupants of that plane would have been gone over to the Nth degree, like few people in history, and there are no suspects, and no motive.

    The guy had it out for the Malay government and now the Malay government is in denial which is rather ironic.

    He hates the Malay gov for trumping up some homosexual charges against his political candidate. His home life is unhappy and he snapped? He knows if he heads far out into the Indian Ocean; the ocean makes search difficult; he also knows there is no pain in a nosedive at 700mph (or some such) and he knows the plane will be in so many small pieces they will never recover it to credit his actions and realize he suffocated all on board when he left Malay airspace. He also knows the Malay government will never admit his wrongs and thus he exposes their corrupt ways. Where he miscalculates is the Malay government needs deniability to reduce claims against it and he gave them this bit.

    Of course, a lot of conjecture, but probably fairly close.

    Drift analysis is probably the best way to find the bits. It would require an open forum of all the findings and some geniuses writing algorithms for each piece and then finding the intersections.
