The Malaysian airlines is not very open, because they were probably the ones who issues some sort of reprimand.

So it was a suicide? Then why did he continue to fly the plane for another 7 years after dropping off radar? This doesn't make sense.

Maybe he was still debating things in his head. Do it, or don't do it? Also, if he was really angry, he must have known where to fly/crash the plane to REALLY thwart searchers. It seems like his maneuvering was done in a highly skilled manner, that not only was deliberate, but made intentionally difficult.

People who are really, seriously pissed off, don't care about the details - they often just care about winning. Evading not just radar tracking but being found, could easily be a revenge "win" against those he perceived as slighting him.

What about the co-pilot?

The lead pilot was a long term veteran, and the co-pilot was very new. Seniority reigns I'm sure, and he could have coerced the co-pilot, threatened him, or taken sole control when the co-pilot went to the bathroom - as was the case on the Egypt Air crash.

Had read that the younger pilot reportedly let two women in the cockpit to try to impress them on an earlier flight. But his family said he was a harder worker and dedicated to his job.

"reported missing" and "noticed missing" are very different. My guess is that Malaysian Airlines noticed something was awry while it was somewhere over the South China Sea, but did not report the amiss plane until the landing time had passed, hoping that perhaps the plane was still on course, and not wanting to needlessly cause panic after they had been certain something was really wrong.

How would Malaysia Airlines notice anything if air traffic controllers weren't aware of anything unusual happening?

I think people forget that if this was planned, there would be no fighter jets sent to guide the plane to a safe landing in where, Pakistan? I mean really, ...would there be fighter jets to guide it unplanned into Pakistan?

If it was planned, folks were paid to look the other way. People tend to not notice things when their pockets are going to be getting heavy from not noticing.

Don't commercial airlines have to submit flight plans for every flight? Planes can't just fly random routes -- there are lots of other planes in the sky. The ATCs have to keep track of them so they don't collide. If an expected flight does not say "hello" to Vietnamese ATC, wouldn't that arouse suspicion right away? The Vietnamese ATC had to be expecting the Malaysia Airlines flight 370 to fly into its airspace, and would have checked (we hope) with someone in Malaysia when it didn't show up. So why wasn't this reported publicly for six hours?

How do you know air traffic controllers weren't concerned? How do you know everything behind the scenes? You're really presuming everything has been discussed and released. Like you're re-creating a chunk of cheese not even from the Swiss Cheese base, but from simply the holes.

You and your Pakistan theory. Good lord.

thought this was well put together.
This whole thing is distressing and I wish I could stop thinking about the passengers and trying to imagine what they went through.

Don't know but thought ATC watch what planes come into their air space and once they leave they don't track it. If they see something unusual, they could investigate and look up flight plans. So Malaysian ATCs saw the plane leaving their area and it should have shown up on Vietnamese ATCs screens and they would have begun tracking it. Only thing is that the plane didn't enter the second air space. Think that is partly why authorities believe whatever happened was deliberate, that whoever was in control of the plane picked that exact time when the plane was leaving one air space and entering the next, to divert the plane so that it would not be detected and sound alarms.

Why not just buy a plane? I am sure Pakistan can buy a plane on the open market. It would be a lot easier.

They don't want the plane...they want the 20 people on board who are scientists and experts in developing weapons.

Because they could risk war and annihilation if the government is directly linked to an instrument of mass destruction purposely acquired and used against another country? That would be like firing a missile at an enemy country. You have to be crazy to do that. So if the plane is stolen by "terrorists", no on country can be blamed if it used as a bomb.

Ok so assuming it's not crashed or even if it was, where do you think it was going and how to get there?

One PP says N. Korea and one at least says Pakistan.
Let's hear why, and anywhere else people think this plane may have been trying to get to.
