Not unlike cultural difference around the world, they're really good people at heart (L-UAL pilots), you just have to try to look through some of the B.S. ramblings...

See, I think the 777 flight computer became self aware, and rebelled against its human opposition.

"Maybe some of the younger pilots interviewed on CNN didn't pick up on this left turn. We old pilots were always drilled to always know the closest airport of safe harbor while in cruise."

Great analysis.
It's disturbing how CNN is drilling the pilots.

Keith Ledgerwood ? Did Malaysian Airlines 370 disappear using SIA68/SQ68 (another 777)?


Would love to see them enact that rejoin at night, without NVGs, while the Singapore 777 is moving at .84 and Malaysian 777 is attempting to overtake it at red line with a 7 mile turn radius. And of course staying at of wake turbulence, lack of SKE to back up position without NVGs, and so on. And of course done by a brand new 777 copilot and neither had done that before.

Maybe the fire broke out, they put their diversion airport (they would have known ahead of time which ones they would be right? Even before take-off) into the GPS/enable autopilot and then both get up to fight the fire and eventually they succumb to the flames/smoke fighting it.

The idea of them both getting up and leaving the cabin is a stretch, but that would explain why there was no radio call. But then that leaves the transponder, oh i don't know.

The amateur air crash investigators are really upping their game this week.

There is no guarantee at all that the oxygen bottles in the cockpit were serviced with 'aviators breathing oxygen' which is 100 percent oxygen. They may have been serviced with 'compressed breathing air' used by firefighters and rescue personnel. It has happened at least once which resulted in a fatal accident.
