How would they even know there was an issue?
I don't know. But every time I fly and turn my phone on to text dick pictures, they scold me. Travis

Would there be cell/seat service in those parts of the world? I don't really know what goes on over there.
Also, doesn't it seem like it would take a lot of complicity on the ground to pull this all off? Is Malaysia complicit in the whole event?

Scares the crap outta me that the pilot can depressurize the cabin at a flip of the switch...

Not much way to get around that. Pilots need to be able to manually control the outflow valves in case the auto controllers fail. Manually raising the cabin altitude is also a way to fight a cabin fire when there's not a suitable place to land right now. (like over water)
I've seen several comments about what pilots should be able control from the cockpit. My take on it is they should control every system and component on the acft. If they want to crash the airplane that's easy. I'd hate to have a small electrical malfunction turn into a major on board fire because we didn't trust the crew enough to give them access to the on/off switch or the circuit breakers necessary to isolate the component that was malfunctioning.

Scares the crap outta me that the pilot can depressurize the cabin at a flip of the switch... Is there someone other than the pilots that's supposed to operate the plane? It seems to be a weird concept to some that pilots actually control what the plane does. Maybe they need to start stationing political officers on airplanes like the Soviets did on submarines to make sure the pilots don't do something that's not approved.

It seems to be a weird concept to some that pilots actually get to control what the plane does. Maybe they need to start stationing political officers on airplanes like the Soviets did on submarines to make sure the pilots don't do something that's not approved.
+1. Hard to find a profession with a higher success rate than commercial airline pilots. I think I'll continue to trust them with control of the aircraft.

Sad chit is that a widebody plane such as this could mix with the commercial traffic here in the states for whatever reason.

Can they turn off the cell/seat phones? Climb to 48,000 and there is no cell phone reception. At 23,000 over the ocean, there isn't any either. Whoever planned this did their homework.

This may have been mentioned here: (From another website)
Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah (experienced pilot) was a fervent supporter of his country�s opposition leader who was jailed for homosexuality � illegal in Malaysia � only hours before flight MH370 vanished with 239 passengers and crew on board, the Sunday Mirror can reveal. (Shah attended the trial!)
And in a new twist, it emerged that the pilot�s wife and three children moved out of the family�s home the day before the plane�s disappearance.
Pissed off, with a big weapon and many lives.

curious for those that know all, how many nukes could that plane carry from West Asia, Africa or the Mid East with a full tank of gas to the US

Crap, an angry Muslim homosexual who's wife had just left with the kids, maybe threatening to out him and take all he has. And we get another "allahu akbar" moment. Would be funny if this thing weren't so tragic. So, he waits until the other crew have left the cockpit and merely closes the door. It is my understanding it can only be opened from the inside.
