My tinfoil hat says it's on the ground somewhere being prepared for nefarious activity....

True.  There is no need the vast majority of the time.   But it's the not vast majority of the time situations where the investment would return a dividend.

There is no dividend to return-there is no financial sense in doing it, hence the airlines will not be doing it. They'll find that plane one way or another.

Now were the respective governments to bill the airlines for this sort of thing-they might reconsider.

The depressurization theory seems more plausible given the fact that if the plane flew three to four hours off course, and the passengers were aware of a problem, surely one of the nearly 250 of them would have sent an email, text, or made a call.

It's unlikely whatever caused the potential depressurization would also have damaged the transponder.

I'm aware it costs us-it doesn't cost the airline=they don't care to upgrade anything unless they have to.

I think some government knows exactly where the plane is located. Like Speedbag, I also wouldn't be surprised if it never crashed.

Initially I thought it just crashed and hadn't been found yet...but it's getting too weird now. Sure seems like something is up.

Well, maybe not literally up!

I'm aware it costs us, it doesn't cost the airline = they don't care to upgrade anything unless they have to.

I'm suggesting it's about time consideration was given to making it a requirement.

I don't think it made land, possibly a bungled hijack attempt and he who thought he could fly well couldn't. Maybe small arms fire could account for depressurization and a gentle glide into the drink with minimal debris. So many variables and so many strange factors in play!

Or they didn't understand how much fuel was on the plane and the burn rate at a lower altitude.

hijacked

is the anonymously arrived at... conclusion...

or not.. or kinda.. but lets officially call it... something else.. for now..

Since 2001 I guess they have a possible excuse but come on there is still no official confirmation?  Someone must know something? Surely?

Surely?

Don't call me Shirley

Yes.  I make joke.  Its bad taste.  The black and white humour troopers will be here to berate me soon I expect.

I walked right into that one diddle I.....
