Thanks for posting this conversation.

I’m going to accept the captain’s explanations and stop obsessing about what happened to MH370.

Good. Another plausible. I am a little tired of the arm chair experts and their constant yapping about things they know nothing about. It's almost comical how everyone has a theory (even some plausible ones), but almost everyone's theory is based upon bad information on flying airplanes.

Oooo, the pilots turned off the transponder. There are plausible reasons, only one of which is nefarious.

Oooo, the aircraft climbed to 45000, above the service ceiling. There are plausible reasons, one of which is not nefarious: they actually didn't. One of the reason for a transponder is to display altitude. No transponder, no known altitude because radar cannot estimate not altitude well.

Oooo, no distress call. Several plausible reasons, and only one indicates that someone was doing something wrong with the aircraft.

Personally, I favor the flight deck fire theory, or the crew theft theory, but at least I know what I am talking about even if I don't know what actually happened to MH 370.
