My opinion is they were hijacked. I think the captain is getting a bad rap because he enjoys playing flight sims. Big effing deal; my son plays train sims. I'm also not convinced deleted files have anything to do with him being guilty of hiding something either.
I hope everyone is safe but I highly doubt it. I feel the captain put the plane in the water to stop whoever was behind it.
Not sure if anyone posted this - I came here today after seeing this article
Simulation Maker Responds to Conjecture on Disappearance of Flight 370
But in a statement posted on website of the simulator’s manufacturer, Precision Manuals Development Group, CEO Robert Randazzo said the pilot’s avid interest in flight simulation should not be construed as a sign that he was deliberately involved in altering the aircraft’s course.
“As is always the case when something cannot be explained, there are many folks attempting to explain the event to the public using theories, guesswork and good, old-fashioned imagination,” he wrote.
“Some of these commentators have focused on Captain Shah’s [cq] love of the flight simulation hobby as a suggestion that he may somehow have played a role in the disappearance of MH 370. Such wild conjecture is not only insulting to those of us who wear or have worn the stripes of a captain, but has the potential to be damaging to the flight simulation hobby.”
Mr. Randazzo noted that Capt. Zaharie had used PMDG software but had no part in its development.
