kristinn, I read somewhere there was a flight engineer on-board that night. Don’t have a link.

My prediction:
Captain stabbed the co-pilot, went nuts and crashed the plane into the Indian ocean.

Very good ... we’re getting more details all the time that show this was an exquisitely and impeccably planned event.

So it was the Captain, with a computer, in the cockpit is my “Clue” answer. But where’s the plane?

Is there any way that someone could have entered the course direction into the computer from a remote location?

The computer that changed course was already built into the plane.

If it can connect to a network it can be hacked.

I heard about the flight engineer for the first time today on top-of-the-hour radio news.
So why have they been witholding this piece of info?

The article says there are two ways - the pilot and the airline. However if it was the airline, that would be quite a big conspiracy - saying that the airline wanted to divert its own plane. And ... if that sort of thing happened, with the pilot not being “in on it” - then he would take control and override the control.
In this case, you can be assured it came from the cockpit and that it was someone who knew very well how to handle the equipment.

To insure everyone’s safety - next TSA is going to ban passengers from planes, as well as pilots and flight crews.

(Reuters) - Malaysian police are investigating a flight engineer who was among the
passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines plane as they focus on the pilots and anyone
else on board who had technical flying knowledge, a senior police official said.
The aviation engineer is Mohd Khairul Amri Selamat, 29, a Malaysian who has said on
social media he had worked for a private jet charter company.

That’s a good idea! Then the TSA can shut itself down and turn out the lights at the airports.
