It's relevant to earlier posts in the thread wherein I was questioning why an intercept was not attempted early on in the incident. I'm not talking about present day. NOTHING was known at that point and in my hypothetical world an intercept might have determined if the 777 was under AP or pilot control.

Some of us have had our heads tamped so full of state school bull that we can no longer select the most probable outcome from a list of probable outcomes.
Nobody has made an assumption, they have made a guess based on available evidence, to deny the highest probability is to admit the death of your common sense.

Sorry but i don't get intimidated. The question was not idiotic and posed in a quite cogent manner. Flippant responses are not necessary. If the moderators don't want me here they can throw me off. Otherwise, I am not here to please you "blastoff" or anyone else of the High and Mighty members of this group.

Assuming that there is room for the philosophical notion of Occam's Razor along with appropriate critical thinking; what would be the simplest explanation for the disappearance (and behavior) of this aircraft and crew? Again, I am a psychologist and not a pilot but I have greatly enjoyed the discussion and have found more critical thinking in this discussion than just about anywhere else on the 'net.

Flash forward to today, 45 pages later, with in-fighting amongst APC members, media "experts", etc, today, we have NO factual information of what happened, to include NO factual info that terrorism/criminal activity was involved.
None.
None.

I'm reading an article now saying that the CA's wife and kids left him (as in moved out) just prior (days) to the aircraft going missing?
Additionally the article said he was very politically active. Appeared to be liberal in a fairly conservative area and that his political hero was jailed just prior as well...

I'd be more than happy to eat crow if ends up being mazster's "Airport 75" spinoff.

Very good point, the oft ignored Occam's Razor is very useful to narrow down what some might think are thousands of possible outcomes.
What is simple, what is likely and what is possible.
Ignoring the tinfoil hat crowd, the media and the PC squad, there are a very limited number of possibilities not based on bad movies or novels.
Most likely: crew or hijackers for personal or philosophical reasons took control for another goal, like a large building in Malaysia. On the way a breech of the pressure hull or shutdown of pressurization in an effort to quell the passengers went wrong leaving the aircraft to troll along until it was out of fuel.
