The Occam's Razor explanation.
That would explain the seemingly credible letter written by an oil rig worker who thought he saw a plane in flames overhead.
If the pilot was not muslim, he did not have the simulator in his home, and his family did not dissapear, I’d buy this. And you are correct, the Occam’s Razor explanation is most likely.
Thing is, in a 21st century world, the information above does sort of make the “the pilot did it on purpose” explanation another Occam’s Razpr explanation.
I buy it.
Terrorist angle makes no sense.
* who needs to deal with 230+ extra people?
* easier to just buy a plane and use it for a nefarious purpose.
* element of surprise is gone
* no one credible claimed responsibility.
Only thing open concerning this theory is that someone should have gotten a mayday signal out somehow
The confounding piece is the 5 hours of Sat Pings... Did it ghost fly for 5 hours?
Found this.
MH370 most likely caught fire, tried to land in Langkawi, says former pilot

Amazing how the pilot’s family knew to move elsewhere in advance, and still not surface.
So where is the debris?
Location of airport.
Langkawi International Airport

Terrorist angle makes no sense.
**************
Agree. Why steal a plane and then have everyone in the world looking for it? If located, the plane would never be allowed to take off again without being intercepted.
The whole terrorist angle seems to be far too complicated to succeed. Too many moving parts in that type of scenario.
Diversion?
Agreed. Though were there not reports about the transponders being turned off before the final radio communication with the flight crew?
On an isolated beach?
The family has two homes and stay in the one that is closest to the airport when dads in town so said a European newspaper days ago.
The only possible terrorism angle I can see is a pilot infuriated with the political situation in his own country decides to turn the plane around and head back to the city he left from — with bad intentions. It does appear he was very upset with recent developments in his own country. Maybe the “plan” met resistance and didn’t work out as intended.
But the Swissair flight pilots relayed several messages and updates to control towers about their situation.
What messages?
But no distress call? Hard to understand that.
But in an updated timeline of the period after ground control lost contact with the missing Flight 370, CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the communications system could have been shut off at “any time” between its last known transmission, at 1:07 a.m., and 30 minutes later when it was expected to transmit another signal.
