I'm not jumping to any conclusions about the flight crew. I'm only *guessing* that someone with cockpit knowledge was at the helm.
Air Malaysia is having financial issues. They don't subscribe to SatCom, or the higher quality (more expensive) ACARS data stream. I'll bet they don't do a whole lot of the required maintenance either.
Gee...I wonder why they would rather point fingers at the pilots than admit this airframe had a maintenance history?
