Im not really a conspiracy theorist and have seen a lot working in aviation all over the world for 28 years but all this just doesnt make any sense. Malaysia Airlines had an almost perfect safety record ever since they started flying. Had it been an explainable accident wed be able to move on but two fatal (actually one fatal the other we dont know what happened) bizarre occurrences and now Air Asia. Ive flown on both carriers as an employee and a revenue passenger and found both to be just as good and in some ways better then American or European carriers. This whole mystery is making me think strange things are afoot in the Java, Sumatra, KL area. Theres still plenty of missing aircraft worldwide but these three incidents of 2014 take the cake. From BBC World in London: The plane had left Surabaya at 05:35 Jakarta time and had been due to arrive in Singapore two hours later. Wisnu Darjono, AirNav safety director, said Capt Iriyanto requested permission to bank left at 06:12 to avoid a storm. The request was immediately granted and the plane changed course. According to state navigation operator AirNav Indonesia, the pilot then asked to take the plane from 32,000ft (9,800m) to 38,000ft but did not explain why he wanted to do so. Indonesian air traffic control staff told the pilot he could take the plane to 34,000ft but no higher because another AirAsia airliner was flying above. It took us around two to three minutes to communicate with Singapore, Mr Darjono said. But when we informed the pilot of the approval at 06:14, we received no reply.
