[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are copilots supposed to leave the cockpit like this one supposedly did? I understand he was still pretty new, so it's likely he would do whatever would be asked of him by a more senior pilot, but would it be normal for the pilot to ask his copilot for a cup of coffee (as the theory suggests) or would a flight attendant normally do this? I would hope on most airlines there is a protocol in place to make sure the pilot is never left alone with the controls because had the copilot been able to engage, maybe he could have saved the plane or prevented the pilot from taking over.

Yes copilot was not fully qualified and known as a risk taker - probably why the pilot chose a flight with him to carry out this terrible act.

MH370 went missing on March 8, 2014 and what exactly happened remains a mystery – but one clue could be the co-pilot turning on his phone moments before the plane disappeared from radar, a move described as “very unusual” by one expert.

[b]MH370: Co-pilot's phone was turned on mid-flight says expert[/b]

Several experts have suggested this could indicate something “untoward” was going on at this point. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board when it disappeared, never to be seen again. Co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid was known to break aviation rules by having guests in the cockpit, but he was rising up in his career and was nearly fully qualified.

Mr Hamid had turned off his phone before take-off but then turned it on again mid-flight, according to the Straits Times. The signal was picked up by a ground station on Penang Island, northwest of Malaysia.(along the proposed divergent pathway.)[/quote]
