Remember plane going up to 45,000 then down. Struggle for control. Then pilot sets the course and bails out over ????? She’s waiting with open arms. No witnesses alive to tell what they know/knew
Somewhere between the Andamans and the Cocos she/he may have been waiting with a boat to pick him up.
Who would have been the wiser — no witnesses, no radar, no transponder, no discernible wreckage from a plane that flies on auto-pilot for several more hours.
The phone call before the flight is the key. Such calls are not to be made or taken.
“The friend said Captain Zaharie, who he chatted to when they met several times a year through work, was a fanatic for “the three Fs” - food, family and flying.
When he wasn’t working he spent hours cooking or using his home-made flight simulator for a variety of situations he wouldn’t experience at the controls of a commercial airline, such as flying at the highest and lowest possible altitudes.”
