Malaysia Airlines MH370 - Missing Plane

@xxMATTGxx; I know nobody can really answer this but since you're following the story do you think the co pilot speaking last indicates he was the one that took control or do you think the pilot may have switched off the ACARS when he wasn't looking? the co pilot is so young!

It's one of those questions that the answer is possible or maybe. If and only if it was the co-pilot then he would have either had to lock the Captain out, got him on his side (maybe the plan was done together?) or the captain was taken out. Or there was in fact an actual hijacker who got into the cockpit.

Oh and if he did turn off when he wasn't looking a warning message would come up most likely on the The displays stating it has been.

It's another theory but since we have all been posting them I may as well share this one.

What do you all think of that? I'm going to go down the route of very unlikely but who knows.

Surely if there's 2 planes the radar would still detect that though?

Like if you send 6 fighter jet into the air and get them to fly together, I highly doubt it's going to show up as 1 plane?

Close enough they'd look like 1 big plane.

If one has a transponder on and the other doesn't then you will probably only see the one and might class the other one as a "glitch" - Maybe?

idk, but if you're military why not just tail a passenger flight with your transponder off, it can't be that easy surely? :p

For anyone who is taking a serious interest into the disappearance. Lots of speculation/conspiracies being thrown around however an abundance of knowledgeable posters (pilots/air traffic controllers) to confirm/disprove any conjectures.

Edit: Up to page 32 here.

Technically a fighter jet could do that. You need the transponder on for the TCAS on the airliner to see where the traffic is. If it's off you wouldn't know if a plane was behind you or whatever unless someone on the ground told you they were.

[scottish]

Yeah but from the ground they'd still surely see that there's multiple?

Like the passenger flight doesn't know but ground radars surely would..
