There is almost no doubt in my mind that a sinister person or persons took charge of this flight, but their motive/s is/are very obscure.
Yes. Sadly speculating on the who’s and what will only lead us to step on someone feet that doesn’t deserve it .We are simply speachless on that path.
The “how” on the contrary might be discussed.
For example, we have now an offcial statement of the range the aircraft flew? How did it manage to do it ? What could have been done to reach that final destination?
I guess if you ever (God forbid) get into a similar situation, send a text message to someone you trust as they usually stay in the outbox and go through when the phone makes contact with a ground station. In fact, send messages with all resources (whatsapp, skype etc)
I fear that this is not the way to do. By queuing request in your communication, you might jam the available bandwidth in case of interminent connection.
The best IMOHO is to use the lighter format (text-message) and prey for it to go through all the way down the recipient.
On (an even) darker note, I fear that a non-in flight-accessible video recording device could have prevented that incident. For example, would have they smoked in the cockpit while the two girls from Australia were in there if they were aware that a video was recorded ?
Don’t take me wrong, doing stupid things in presence of girls is not to be blamed… But never in a place or time where the life of many rely on your sole responsibility.
I really can’t share the arguments pushed frwd by the Pilot Union. Frankly that’s stupid, irrelevant and… shocking given the circumstances.
