[Capt. Tom]

If a pilot or co-pilot wanted to commit suicide why not just crash the plane in the China Sea, or even if they wanted to crash the plane in the Indian Ocean, why try to cover it up, all the secrecy for what purpose, to off yourself anyway?

A suicidal person may not want a surviving family member or loved ones to live with the stigma of a person who took down over 200 innocent people with him.
If the suicide can not be proven, and the possibility of that something else happened, the family survivors are better off.
Suicide decisions are not always a spur of the moment thing, and can be planned months in advance.-Tom

Well the inference is already implied so even if the pilot(or Co-pilot) wanted to hide the suicide it would be hard too..but the whole skirting Indonesian radar(and airspace) I dont know..the whole thing is just so weird..makes me think that it was either someone on that plane or something on that plane that someone wanted SO badly they would do something like this to achieve it..without actual wreckage Im willing to believe that someone took the black box, floated out to the ocean and threw it in, I know, crazy thought, but this entire thing is crazy so why not
