Everything is easy if you know how to do it.

Senior pilot was a tech geek who had his own flight simulator at home...

It is doable if you board the plane with the knowledge of such and the intention of such. The average pilot would not.

This thing just gets curiouser and curiouser.
To: Drango
Which leads to the question which
I've had for along time
which is: just how well are we checking out everyone who's servicing the planes?

The Korea pilots had no idea on how to land a plane without the computer. I suppose one of the stolen passports holders could have been an electronics expert for that model of plane.

It’s time that somebody brought up an Occam’s Razor to this investigation.

the plane's satellite antenna appears to have kept communicating for at least 5 1/2 hours after Malaysia Air MH370 disappeared from air-traffic controllers' radar. That's news to me. I heard it was about 4 hours after disappearance, or 5 hours after takeoff, and that was disputed by Boeing and Mal Air anyway.

"So, to do this, you'd have to have some degree of premeditation and a lot of knowledge of the aircraft," he says. That's an incredibly mundane thing to say.

From another article...
...And Captain Zaharie was said to be so keen to maintain his high professionalism that he had even set up a flight simulator in his own home.

Does anybody think that NPR is worth the money poured into it?

I don’t know if this story is accurate or not, but, could it be that any pilot who would speak to NPR possibly isn’t the brightest of the bunch?
I know if NPR called me to talk to me about my job, I’d tell them to go pound sand.

The more I read about this, the more convinced I am that it was some kind of freak, once-in-a-million-years occurrence, and that nothing sinister is involved.

That's an incredibly mundane thing to say. Yep, the headline tells the story they want to to see and remember, and the body buries the truth they want you to miss.

There is no such thing as signal intelligence.
There is no such thing as electronic warfare.
There is no such thing as “spoofing.”
Therefore pilots cannot learn anything about that stuff.

From a CNN story:
If Malaysia Air Flight 370 was indeed commandeered, the person or people responsible for it knew enough about civil aviation to know how to turn off the transponder. Of course, this is exactly what happened with three out of the four planes that were hijacked on 9/11 so it's a technique that is not unknown.
