Maybe the title should be "asleep at the Wheel".

The important answers probably don’t lie in the ocean but on land, in Malaysia. That should be the focus moving forward. Unless they are as incompetent as the air force and air traffic control, the Malaysian police know more than they have dared to say. The riddle may not be deep. That is the frustration here. The answers may well lie close at hand, but they are more difficult to retrieve than any black box. If Blaine Gibson wants a real adventure, he might spend a year poking around Kuala Lumpur
^A little bit cryptic there.
Can sort of read between the lines, but do you have a theory you want to share?
Good enough read, I think Harry posted similar around a year ago.
the most interesting/educational part is learning about how they all likely died. Good to know that it was a gentle, but rather rapid slip in unconsciousness, then death, like peacefully falling asleep.
Presumably Malaysia doesn't want a pilot of their national carrier to be listed as one of the world's biggest mass-murderers, with a rather impressive bodycount of 239.

I didn't realise that KW's post was a full paragraph quote from the conclusion of the article until I read the whole thing.
Yeah, my apologies. I thought it was a rather weird final paragraph.
The article was good, objective, clear and logical and then suddenly the author spews out that. I guess he is insinuating that the police know that the pilot did it and are covering.
^ Yeah, I thought it was your own personal opinion until I waded through that 4,000 word article and came to the end.
Inept, and scared of making themselves, their bosses or their country look bad. But that final paragraph appears to be insinuating something more systematic and capable of giving closure, which I doubt it could. The smoking gun is clearly pointing at the senior pilot, I think many already understand and accept this, but then what?
it was me. back in june.

I have often sat in the departure hall and watched the flight crew board the plane and wondered how they handle the almost daily pressure of responsibility for hundreds of lives.
I suppose the same can be said for other commercial passenger vehicle captains such as bus drivers, naval captains and others but when they make errors on planes the end result is quite catastrophic.I wonder how often they are mentally assessed by their employers.

7 years on so things may have changed considering the ease with which key personnel can make catastrophic decisions, or sabotage a flight.
While tech can deal with much of the decisions, I'd guess a pilot bent on taking a dive could manage to get through most routine assessments. And it may be worth assessing the competence of assessors in some countries.
Imagine that in this day and age it's pretty foking difficult to accidentally crash a plane all by yourself (without their being a mechanical fault.)
Collect.
Hope I didn't bring down a Boeing.
