I know how things are looking right now - but I would hate to think this is the pilot. Its sacrilege that a pilot would do something like this - I know its happened before, the SilkAir pilot was an Ex-RSAF pilot who has a similar number of hours to this guy.


I just don't want to believe it and I would like to hold a little more faith in this guy and not crucify him until the evidence is solid.

I don't want to believe the pilot would do this. This is someone we learn to trust with our lives, even though we don't know them from Adam. It's kind of like trusting medical/emergency service personnel. We don't give it a second thought. But, we are all human and each very unique. And, we all carry our own baggage (no pun intended).

I think it would be easy to pin this on the pilot .

Could it be true? I dunno .transponder being turned off as reported one minute after the plane reached its cruise hieght , leads me to believe that is might not be the pilot.

The seatbelt lights stay on until about that time and anyone getting up before that would alert people there was an issue.

If either pilot was involved why wouldnt they have shut those devices down sooner and saved the gas they had and not flown toward china at all? They disapeared from radar. If they know that was going to work as well ,why waste time?

Unless the political statement was as much against China as the country the airline flew for. I still cannot dismiss the possibility it was to take out as many Chinese nationals as possible being they were the majority of passengers.

Keeping several possibilities in mind until more is known....

MOO

I agree with that, but why not take out the Chinese passengers in a grisly way, crashing into something?

This is all just so crazy. I think when we find out what really happened it will shock us all...

back in the '''olden days''' there were a number of hostage taking/hijacking events...(1970's) such as this one ((there were at least 3 involving JAL)

TWA Flight 847 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - was a violent one but the one thing they all had in common was demands

this one is giving me 'chicken skin' -- I am so waiting to hear the other shoe 'drop' -- I believe they are alive and that they are negotiating ((please God))

Oh yes, I remember seeing a documentary about that! Horrifying. I just tried to find it to post it here but I couldn't find it. I'll keep looking.

Don't think this article has been posted, here's a snippet.

USS Kidd Expands Flight MH370 Search into Indian Ocean
INDIAN OCEAN - U.S. Navy assets continue to search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 as the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Kidd (DDG 100) expands its patrol area from the northwest entrance of the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean and Andaman Sea, March 16.

Oh my, is this just a regional Texas thing or is anyone else seeing the "For Farmer's Only" online dating service commercial on Fox? With the woman in the mom jeans and the dude with the cover-alls? If it's just for Texas I'm moving.

I saw that a few weeks ago here in Illinois.

Yeh, I do agree - and I can't help but think about the meaning of the words that were said on that homemade webpage a few threads back that was about the pilot... A bit of a "who is the pilot" by family and friends that showed him cooking, playing with his remote control planes and home SIM etc... And specific mention of "please forget about his political affiliation and see who he is as a person" - I figured it meant something but being a non Malaysian and not knowing their political scene at the moment, had no idea how much of a clue that could be.

Or is it a red hearing? Is he the scapegoat here for a bigger cause. He wrote no manifesto and showed no purposeful reason for this desicion that would take out a few hundred people who were not part of the cause.

I don't believe that a pilot with this many hours would make a decision this extreme with consequences this far reaching with such loss of life and taint to his name and his family and his colleagues on a whim.
Unfortunately, this site is filled with stories of people who made extreme choices to kill others without giving any thought to family or their lives prior to their act. Extreme beliefs either political or religious account for many mass murders.

No, they only wear mom jeans and cover-alls in Texas. ;) They wouldn't consider doing such a thing in Oklahoma! You should move here.

:floorlaugh: We're practically neighbors!

Admittedly there are an inordinate amount of mom jeans and cover-alls here...

It still doesn't satisfy the lack of manifesto, statement or claim to justify his actions, which I believe as a methodical, attention to detail person that an experienced pilot is (especially considering the planning that would have needed to go into this) he would have included here.

Why would the pilot fly 7 or whatever hours off the flight path?

I'm sorry, I do not think it's pilot involvement.

If it was one or both of the pilots, WHY would they maybe fly to some place?? What is the motive of that?

One of the pilots has been flying for a long, long time. And we're to believe he suddenly got involved with terrorists?

I understand, you all can have your ideas about the pilots and you are free to do so, I would rather not be involved in that discussion and I will discuss other theories.

JMO.

Hi aa951 :seeya: I hear you sistah, I'm exhausted from thinking about it right now myself. I'm always open to hearing other theories!

U.S. officials lean toward 'those in the cockpit' behind missing flight

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- U.S. intelligence officials are leaning toward the theory that "those in the cockpit" -- the pilots of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 -- were responsible for the mysterious disappearance of the commercial jetliner, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the latest thinking told CNN on Saturday.
