<>The last communication on pilot Shah’s phone was at 7:45pm.<>

Would that be this call:

The captain of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 received a two-minute call shortly before take-off from a mystery woman using a mobile phone number obtained under a false identity.

Somehow 5 hours before takeoff doesn’t sound like “shortly before takeoff”.

Are they hiding another call?? I thought I read where he took this call from the cockpit shortly before takeoff.

not sure. The NST ‘time’ is the first time I’ve seen an actual time with hours and minutes, tho.

Here’s the article you read back on March 21 - the DM is quoting the SUN. Recall back on March 21 the Malays were already throwing Shah under the bus and we didn’t have word on the flight simulator yet. (not sure if that matters)

“His comments come as investigators were reportedly trying to identify a mysterious phone call made by pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah while he was in the cockpit.”

STAR - do you have an article from the SUN on your master list, from around March 19-20? I’m basically looking for something that says ‘Malaysian officials said Shad made a phone call from the cockpit” or “inside sources say...” or anything to help us identify where the ‘cockpit’ comment in the DM article originated? thanks much !!

oh, and I just noticed, the DM says he made the call, but the mystery woman story says he received a call. I need a spreadsheet at this point to keep it all straight !
