Exactly, so if there was an issue with communications/beacons/transponders/etc... The pilots would have already been aware of it via an alert and they would have said something instead of "Goodnight"
If the reports are right then the copilot was the one who said good night. The copilot would know if communications was shutdown as you just touched on.
What's the background of the copilot is my question? So far, all we know is that their has been nothing indicating unusual activity by the copilot before the trip.

3 remote runways found on 53 year old pilots home simulator
ETA Sri Lanka, Garcia Air Force Base and I missed the last one?

That is very interesting if true.
Yup, he did say that old school pilots will sometimes pre-program in scenarios, sort of "What ifs" in case he needs it.
But he said, and I don't know what the data source is, that the evidence is clear this was input in advance.
1) Kills Transponder
2) Pre-programs
3) Drops pressure
4) Repressurizes
5) Pilot leaves cockpit to cut other communications (Co-Pilot still there and says "Good Night"
6) Turn takes place
7) ????

interesting.
There are some awesome Hi-res remote runways on Pirate Bay for FSX.
There was one that had a fence in the middle of it, it was fun to try and land before the fence.
I think that was part of the $100 hamburger series.
You can get overlays to where the cities look exact.
But if he had Cocos Islands or something in Bangledesh then I'm worried.

CNBC analyst just said that the data coming out shows that the turn was pre-programmed into the system 12minutes before the turn took place and the pilot said goodnight.

Investigators have discovered the runways of five airports near the Indian Ocean loaded into Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s home-made flight simulator, a Malay daily reported today.

The Malay Mail Online has translated a report from newspaper Berita Harian that quotes a source saying that the pilot, Malaysia Airlines veteran Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had loaded five runways in the Indian Ocean onto his flight simulator. “The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives, an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka," the source told the paper.
The UK Telegraph has picked up the report, which notes that the Malaysian government had already discounted the possibility that the plane landed at Diego Garcia, an atoll in the Indian Ocean home to a United States naval base, but that they would renew their search there. They are also not dismissing any of the other possibilities, including that the plane landed on an island in the Maldives.

Me either... That is why I won't rule it out.
Redundancy is only for things that fail so why can't all those things fail?

Maldives island residents report sighting of 'low flying jet'
Hmmmmmm

No, it means that the thing that all of the analysts have been screaming about redundancy is true.
There are systems that look after systems that look after systems. Sure, could an accident happen, no doubt, but there is NO WAY that there wouldn't be hard data or info stating what took place
I have plenty of experience dealing with many of redundant systems and mountains of data, I still have yet to claim it couldn't be a mechanical or electrical failure without actually examining the equipment. The pilot forums I am reading which include 777 pilots aren't writing off a potential failure as a theory at all. I have yet to see an engineer take it off the table as well.

From your article:
Just for geography's sake, the Maldives are a couple hundred miles southwest of India. Residents report seeing the low-flying jet at 6:15 AM - around 5 hours after it disappeared from radar.

Residents of the remote Maldives island of Kuda Huvadhoo in Dhaal Atoll have reported seeing a "low flying jumbo jet" on the morning of the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Whilst the disappearance of the Boeing 777 jet, carrying 239 passengers has left the whole world in bewilderment, several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a "low flying jumbo jet" at around 6:15am on March 8.
They said that it was a white aircraft, with red stripes across it – which is what the Malaysia Airlines flights typically look like.
Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the aeroplane was travelling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives – Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.
"I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly," said an eyewitness.

It should but could something be inaccurate with this "ping" data? Idk, but I'm not sold completely on this arc info. Seemed sketchy from the time it was released imo.
