Dont buy suicidal pilot theory, you dont spend 7 hours contemplating suicide on a plane, if you wanna off yourself you do it right in the China Sea where the plane lost contact..I doubt the two pilots were having a Dr. Phil therapy session in the cockpit talking about their feelings..my guess, plane landed somewhere, to be used at a later date, I dont believe the passengers are alive, the decompression probably killed them, but where are the bodies..mass grave maybe?

The Western world has become, if not used to, at least not terrified by sudden jihad syndrome where the pilot crashes the plane like Egypt Air 990. The jihadists probably figured a complete disappearance would cause more terror, thus take over the plane, shut off the transponder and fly thousands of miles off course before crashing.

Or else the pilot typed in 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 into the autopilot.

Is there certainty that there was depressurization?
