Probably meaningless, I suppose.

Where IS that plane?

No necessarily meaningless, although I think the co-pilot is the prime suspect here.

Where IS that plane?

Neither ELT has triggered (so, no crash), and no Weight-on-Wheels message received (so, no landing)...

Plane is STILL in the air! Certainly ran out of fuel weeks ago, so only conclusion?

The plane is in panic mode, continually flying down a mountainous ridge for uplift, turning around going the other way, and so on. Without radio contact, they can only wait for us to check the mountain ridges!

from the article and Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's acting transport minister mouth ...
"The passengers, the pilots and the crew remain innocent until proven otherwise,"

Strange remark from that part of the world.

Who doesn't empty their recycle bin.

I'm beginning to think the MSM doesn't want us to know what really happened.

It was not immediately clear who deleted the files and why.

Sounds ominous.

I deleted some files from my computer just yesterday. Some were replaced by newer items and some just were no longer needed.

Doesn’t everyone have their computer to automatically delete stuff on a scheduled basis? Much ado about nothing.

As the evidence comes dribbling out it appears more and more that this is a hijacking. The possibility of a mechanical failure diminishes but still there. With that the pilot, copilot or a third individual would be involved.

So that makes data deleted from his computer more important than what it might have been otherwise. Maybe something, maybe nothing. They have to check it out for a thorough investigation.

No! This can’t be true!

That plane may well be waiting somewhere to be used as a firebomb.

The simulator is only as good as the software development that went into it and that would logically focus on the common parameters and conditions that might be expected. How useful then would a simulator be at flying near the outer limits of what a given plane might do, which is invariable more complicated. It’s not magic going on in that computer simulator, so then how valuable would it be to a very seasoned pilot with 18,000 hours. I’m sure any pilot worth his salt could test the simulator and find flaws at more extreme parameters.

I just wonder realistically how valuable is the simulator outside the come parameters which this pilot already has 18,000 hours experience? That’s a lot of experience and intuition.

I think the simulator may be a red herring.

Wait...

This story is based on the word of a Malaysian “official?” Are you kidding me? Have they said one stinking thing that has turned out to even resemble the truth?
