Mo I suspect you may be a pilot. From what I have noticed most pilots don't want to entertain the thought that they will never ever again trust their fellow pilot. They wouldn't want to step out of the cockpit in fear the a/c will be taken over. They all want to believe it's a mechanical/electrical failure just like the Malaysian government but for differrent reasons. The Malaysian gov. would like to have someone else take the blame and handle the very large compensation claims. It would be a face saver for them and the pilots would love to see it as Boeings fault.
