Potential hacking of the flyby wire system is why I always fly de Havalland Comet or DC10 so I do not have to worry when I fly.

Airlines are about making money, if they can monitor the health of the aircraft, detect when parts fail or are about to fail they can have replacements ready, not take the aircraft out of service and make more money.

There is also increasing interest in smart routing. Flying in fixed corridors, height separation etc. costs fuel and time, so money.

Increasingly aircraft will be more "connected".

Yes but to a very limited extent.

You constantly show that you google stuff and get a few acronyms and terms but don’t really understand any of it.

Nothing wrong with that, but then you use this to make unlikely theories and present your limited knowledge as facts to back up these theories.

I knew about ACARS and I was very interested in aviation way before google even existed, I'm far from aviation expert and I don't claim to be one but I have read a lot more about it than average person. But even if I googled for it does it make my statement wrong?!

I don't present my "limited knowledge" or any knowledge as facts, I only present facts as facts.

I believe(due to known facts) it wasn't preplanned murder and PIC wanted to land somewhere but failed because it was everything but your standard "A to B" flight. I can't understand why people find it so unlikely since hijack failure rate is around 50% so nothing out of this world.

I would like to hear your theory why he went dark over Malaysia and around Sumatra towards Australia if he didn't want to land there.

You get a reaction on this thread because people can tell you’re blagging,

People guessing about what happened is normal, what you do though is guess and then end with a statement like “it’s thhe only possible solution” or some other comments which shows you think you’re right. When in fact like most, if not all people here, you haven’t got a clue.

The point was to make a statement. Pilot landing in Australia and requesting asylum after a regular flight wouldn't make news (except in local newspapers), pilot diverting a China bound flight, overflying Malaysia and going around Indonesia undetected landing surprisingly in Australia while all world media eyes are on the plane thinking it crashed in SCS would be entirely different.

There is no other plausible reason why anybody would do it like this.

AT, he has his opinions, you have yours. Nobody, outside of certain circles at least, knows for certain what really happened and especially not you or him. It would be beneficial to the discussion if you refrained from throwing around the stupid memes.

My opinion?

There are experts out there, with all the known facts. They have the pilot's background and psychological profile. They know the aircraft inside out. They have access to all the data that's available regarding the flight. They have information about tides and currents. There are organisations well versed in searching for debris underwater. They have access to historical data regarding similar episodes.

None of them have a clue what happened, as evidenced by the fact that they have yet to trace the missing flight. So, given that all I know is what has been released to the public, my opinion is that the flight is missing and more than likely we'll never know the fate of those on board.

You, however, with no more knowledge than the average man in the street, persist in positing ridiculous theories, and asserting that they are the only possible solution.

And you wonder why you're held to ridicule?

That proves just how much you know about planes.

Modern airliners are connected. Rolls Royce have live telemetry from their more recent engines sent back to their headquarters at Derby and a monitored 24/7 for problems. Sometimes they know if an engine is about to have a problem before the crew in the plane does.

Malaysian government has good relations with Australia and all others (except their own people). So western governments are turning blind eye because they find malaysian government benefical and they don't want to rock that boat by announcing Captain as a main culprit because then they'd have to explain his motives and that wouldn't be good. Malaysia has jailed the opposition leader because he is (allegedly) a homosexual and western MSM is staying silent. If Putin did something like that CNN/NBC/BBC and others would scream day and night about it. It's called politics.

via Internet?! I know they are actively working on it but didn't know it's already introduced, got a link?
