I am prepared to be proved totally wrong. The fact is there is no evidence to say the pilots did this.īefore I am prepared to convict a lifelong captain or a newbie first officer of hijacking a plane and killing 238 other people, I want more than a few odd rumors, a lot of scurrilous gossip and a heap of poor arguments. I shall leave it to others to make the case against the pilots on technical grounds. A rogue pilot couldn’t have banked on the failure of an oblivious radar operator not to scramble jets to see what was going on. Finally, never forget that the plane was spotted by the Malaysian military as it flew across the country on that fateful night but was also ignored. These theories were all debunked by the Australian Transport Security Bureau in a rebuttal to Australian veteran pilot Byron Bailey who argues for the “rogue pilot” theory.Īlso, the plane was spotted by Thai radar, which ignored it because it wasn’t relevant. There was no circling of Penang and there was no major change in altitude – the Malaysian radar turned out to be wrong. Like how the captain circled his home island of Penang for “one last look,” or how the plane flew at different altitudes and routes to avoid radar. In the absence of that hard evidence, alternative theories flourished, bolstered by rumors. But we have to take the report at face value – it’s all we have on the record. I am not naïve and obviously can see that the Malaysians might want to put the “best face on” to protect the reputation of their country’s pilots. There were no significant changes in his life style, interpersonal conflict of family stresses.” It says, “the captain’s ability to handle stress at work and home was good. The Factual Report published on the first anniversary of the plane’s disappearance actually goes so far as to dismiss these accusations. Hamid was engaged to be married to a pilot at another airline.

Hamid was transitioning to the 777 fleet and this was one of his first 777 flights out of the simulator on the real metal. He was exceptionally experienced – a training captain – who had been paired with 27-year-old first officer Fariq Ab Hamid. He was a captain on the 777 for more than 15 years. Let us not forget Captain Zaharie had been a pilot with Malaysian airlines since 1981. MH370 pilots: First officer Fariq Abdul Hamid (left) and Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah (right). We have a few rumors, a bit of gossip and a few circumstantial facts which some wish to string together to make a case against the pilots. He had ripped up sick notes in his apartment and had been researching online suicide methods and the locking mechanism of the cockpit door. He had been doctor shopping in the weeks before the crash, visiting numerous general practitioners, psychologists. With Germanwings, we found out almost immediately the psychological and medical issues suffered by Lubitz. With pilot suicide cases, we tend to find out the potential reasons relatively quickly. Time running out for MH370 families to take legal action And so far I can’t find any case that would suggest it does. No – they take over the aircraft and crash the plane.

Whether premeditated (as the evidence shows with Germanwings) or on the spur of the moment, the deranged mind doesn’t spend hours carefully plotting flight plans, working out how to disconnect every communication tool on the aircraft, then flying elaborate routes around countries ostensibly to avoid military radars. The most recent of course was the horrible crash of Germanwings 9525 in March 2015, where the first officer, Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit, then reset the autopilot altitude to 100 feet sending the plane crashing into the French Alps.
When it happens it is shocking and deeply troubling for the traveling public. The pilot theory pins the probable blame on 53-year old captain Zaharie Shah. Anyone who tells you they do know is, frankly, making it up. The simple, short answer as to which is true: we don’t know. Under that scenario, the pilots tried to get back to safety in Malaysia, but became incapacitated and the plane flew on or that the pilots are heroes, and knowing they were doomed, set a course to avoid ground casualties and died after the plane crashed.
