Laverton would have seen them as they operate 24/7. Overlaying the Laverton range again reveals a gap that FL370 could have slipped through.
My theory de jure is pilot anti-government political protest/government embarrassment, marriage relationship anger, and then suicide.
And to spruce up your theory de jur, we could throw in a struggle in the cockpit with the co- pilot who wasn't ready to die. That's why the plane was all over the place. - tom
I have a couple of minor issues with your theory:
1) Do we actually know there were marital problems and do we know the whereabouts of the wife and children. I’ve yet to see any reporting that indicates they are talking with authorities. Could they have left the home and skipped the country to reunite with the husband later?
2) There is no point in disabling the tracking systems if your intention is to drive the plane into the ocean. In fact there’s no reason to do anything other than overpower the co-pilot (this is assuming he’s not in on it) and drive the plane in the sea.
3) If this was meant to cause embarrassment to the Malaysian government, the bigger embarrassment would be to actually hijack the plane and turn it over to people who will actively work against the Malaysian government.
This sounds more like pre-planned plot to steal the plane to cause a problem for the government.
