Also possible to slip and fall, turbulence, etc. And more plausible than murder with no clear motive.

Certain types of people might be more plausibly prone to that sort of behavior. Pilots are generally not that type.

Under tge circumstances I'd believe that one pretty readily.

I wouldn't say equally unlikely. I'd buy an accident long before suicide or murder, ie he went to the ramp to check the gear or toss his cookies and turbulence or poor footing did the rest.
