...My bias against human intervention is simple psychology 101. If a single suicidal pilot or even a terrorist group wanted to destroy a planeload of people it would be based on a grievance and designed to send a message.
Western Intelligence sources have detected no internet or phone chatter about this crash as normally accompanies a significant act of terrorism. There has been no claim of credit by any terrorist organisation, no Jihadist message from a Martyr encouraging followers posted on Youtube. Nor any suicide note left by a pilot.
Were it either of the pilots with a grudge you would expect them to leave a recriminatory letter against those perceived to have wronged them.
When people create such grandiose acts it is an attention seeking move.
They don't disappear to the farthest corner of the earth with barely a peep of protest. Furthermore once committed to an act of suicide why wait 7.5 hours. Why not roll it on her back and pull it nose down straight into the sea?
Just so I understand, you're perfectly willing to consider a novel set of physical circumstances and outcomes, but the people involved must always act in a certain, preconceived way?
