My brother is a pilot, I'm quite confident he's not a terrorist. He has a number of flight simulators at home. He uses them to "explore" parts of the world where he never flies, or planes he's not certified on, because it's interesting to him, and to teach his friends the basics of flying (particularly female friends, who apparently find this "hot") and to fool around with his nephews. He's got a bunch because he buys new ones when they come out, and because he keeps easy ones for the kids, and ones that use different planes.

I don't think the flight simulators will mean much. He was obviously already experienced on the 777, and even if the plane did land somewhere, it clearly didn't land at some well known airport that would be featured in a simulator.

Why is it hot? They should just go out and become a pilot themselves.

What does occalm's razor say about all this?

I wonder if this is all we will ever know - that the terrorists act was to disappear the plane and watch the whole world try to find it.

I think that's the one from the original series, with William Schattner.

He explained how the plane could stay in the air for hours with no pilot or autopilot. When the wings would hit a certain pitch, the plane would turn, and then stay straight until the next time the plane bobbled too much. He also pointed out that if this was the work of an experienced pilot, they would know how to keep the plane relatively stable and not wobble over 20,000 feet. I still vote for explosive decompression and a plane so smart it didn't know how to crash.

It still makes more sense than the Hollywood movie conspiracy plots that are being thrown around now.

Oh I want to believe this too! I feel like any of the other alternatives are just just horrifying and cruel. Hope we're right!

But Fox News just broadcasted it. Must be real.

After spending considerable time reading on two very active pilot forums, many of whom fly the 777 - I would say that none of the pilots think that this was a non deliberate act. They have also debunked the high altitude - depressurized cabin - death myth with a lot of technical jet engine language!

And yes I actually read a 400 page discussion thread on one of those forums about this situation. Really interesting to hear the discussion from an insider perspective although i can only understand about 30% of it due to all the technical language and shorthand codes they use.
