slipperylobster Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Checking the passenger manifest, Malaysia authorities must now divulge information that would rule out any other pilot/potential hijacker on the flight. Each passenger must have been investigated by now. Doing what that aircraft did....right in between transitioning of ground radar.... hitting all the right buttons, making all those maneuvers....if there was one other in the airplane trained for that.....they should know by now.

draftvader Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Its the ****ing pilot. Always was. Simplest way to do it. "Hello Mr Pilot with no real life to talk of (not married, etc) earning a "nice" salary, would you like to be stinking rich with all the girls you can dream of?". Not that he will see anything of it because he's a massive liability as his new employer knows....because he will turn tables for the right money....which has been proved by the deal! Doh!

EyesWideOpen Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) A new Egyptair flight 990 Perhaps the final words from the Egypt Air pilot .... " Allahu akbar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " That company fought the stigma of having lunatic Muslim pilots for a long time, and kept trying to blame the incident on the aircraft. Will be curious how Malaysian Air will spin this incident.

pedro01 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Like something out of a Bond movie... Ominous that there have been no demands. Maybe they just want the plane.... Not good at all.

draftvader Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Landed. refueled and flew on. Kazakhstan is very close to me theorised Hotan, Xinjiang. This is linked to the unclaimed Kunming stabbings.

phuketrichard Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 if they report they got a ping off of a sat at 8:11 i wonder how, ( or was it refuelled?) i didn't think it had enough fuel to remain in the air 8 hours.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK1 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) The Malaysian PM, before a media conferences, certainlysays MH370 has been wildly flown-off-course in a deliberate act and has not ruled out it may have been hijacked but would not confirm. According to the Pm, potentially the final destination of MH370 could be somewhere between the corridor borders of Khazakhstan and Turkey down to a second corridor Southern Thailand and Indonesia This is an amazing twist and in stark contrast to what we were first led to believe.

Don Johan Negombo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 No way its have flyed to Kazakstan to close to india and pakistan, both nuclear powers they would send up attack plane pretty fast. Diego garcia is american base, but have tens of thousands of islands around it ... You have tens of thousands of islands in indian ocean , maybee 100 k ! . I am sure they flyed to some old landing strip. Trust me , Drug cartels , paradise islands hidden from the rest of the world like the movie "Beach" exists...for the people that know, .. Would be pretty simple if they planned and located a old made ww 2 landing stripp..they might have all the facsilities there to stay with hostage for years.. No one could find them or report them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The plane could have more fuel on board then reported There has to be enough fuel on board to cover taxi time +margin (due to queuing delays), climb to altitude (uses the most), level flight to start of descent, descent time (less fuel used here), time to nearest capable alternate airport, pattern holding if delay at airport, taxing to parking, and a reserve of perhaps 30-60 minutes. Depends a lot on company policy as they would like the aircraft to be loaded with absolute minimums as the more fuel on board the heavier and the more fuel used in total for the flight.

harrry Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Often I see ebooks written about Thailand and on reading it is obvious they do not have a clue. I see the same here. We have some very inventive people on this forum but their knowledge is fairly suspect. I guess I will just have to eat my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
