Great read. Long as hell but it was good if you are interested in the subject.

There is more information than is necessary at the beginning but it certainly picked up steam.

The bottom line I'm reading is that there were really no signs the captain was going to do what he did. I do believe there were signs he was depressed to some degree but not quite to the point of homicide/suicide. It's unrealistic to expect officials would have access to the pilot's home computer to see the flight path he was rehearsing. Pilots get divorced frequently I would assume and depression of some degree would generally follow. What degree he displayed I doubt we'll ever know. Sounds like some friends knew that the captain was depressed but I imagine he was subtle enough in his actions to avoid detection. Although, Malaysia's public statement about him being very stable and happy in life is telling that perhaps they knew he was having personality conflicts.

The families being angry at the investigation is seemingly a misdirected form of mourning. No matter what the investigation shows, it won't bring their family back. We don't always get answers to questions in life. I am curious what Malaysia has changed about their air traffic control procedures. Based on reading the article, they don't seem to be very competent or willing to acknowledge any retrospection. I could see them maintaining status quo.
