According to Malaysia Airlines, he joined the company in 2007 and has logged more than 2,700 hours of flight time. A tribute page set up for Flight 370’s crew quotes his grandmother calling him “a good son, obedient, respect the elders and a pious man.” Neighbors said that he liked to play futsal, a sport similar to soccer and popular in Southeast Asia, and that he was engaged to be married, according to The Associated Press.<br /><br />But Mr. Fariq’s track record has come under scrutiny in recent days after a woman, Jonti Roos, claimed that he and another captain had brought her and a friend to ride in the cockpit on a flight from Phuket, Thailand, to Kuala Lumpur in 2011. Ms. Roos provided the Australian television program “A Current Affair” with photos of her and a man she identified as Mr. Fariq.<br /><br />The two women were in the cockpit from takeoff to landing, Ms. Roos said. “Throughout the whole flight they were talking to us,” she said on the program.<br /><br />In his comments to reporters on Saturday, the prime minister explained how the aircraft’s communications systems were systematically disabled, perhaps by someone with intimate knowledge of the plane. He said that one system was disabled as the plane flew over the northeast coast of Malaysia, and that a second, a transponder, was disabled a few minutes later. The aircraft then altered course and flew over the Malaysian mainland before turning to the northwest and heading out to the open sea.<br /><br />In addition, military radar data provided by a person familiar with the investigation suggest someone may have piloted the aircraft to as high as 45,000 feet, above the 43,100-foot ceiling for the Boeing 777.<br /><br />A current Boeing 777-200 pilot for an Asian-based airline said the move could have been intended to depressurize the cabin and render the passengers and crew unconscious, preventing them from alerting people on the ground with their cellphones.<br /><br />“Incapacitate them so as to carry on your plan uninterrupted,” the pilot said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-55580781157591784582014-03-16T15:27:22.803-07:002014-03-16T15:27:22.803-07:00Now, now, now Anonymous at 12:37, no need to be sc...Now, now, now Anonymous at 12:37, no need to be screeching or angry. The facts: Radio coverage on the entire story with updates on ABC, CBS, Fox, SRN, AP, NBC, etc. lasts :40 seconds to 2 minutes an hour, every hour. Want to hear the latest? Tune in. Your smartphone can "explain" it on demand anytime. Next, just like people here on the blog complain about how KCBS repeats stories way to often to be effective, the television medium == be it for the "poop cruise" on Carnival or this tragedy with the airliner is too repetitive and leads to mere speculation and confusion. Period. Reporting hard facts is different than substantiated "updates" with different angles. This story is, so far, beyond different angles for a 24/7 news cycle. <br /><br />It is too confusing because on TV, just like in sports, you don't need to be a Joe Buck or Tim McCarver to "tell the story" that everyone can see. Look at the beauty of using word pictures like Jack Buck, Pat Summerall, Ray Scott and others/ People can interpret the pictures without the confusion of speculation for the sake of long coverage until facts are known. That's what people want to know -- has the plane been found? How'd it get where it is? Who lived or who died? People don't have the attention span of you. Maybe you have all day to watch. Most don't. <br /><br />No, the networks don't need to keep changing what they report with little change. That was my point. They need to repport the story as it develops, not out of ratings to be first when the plane and the people are finally found. To that ... you report in 22 minutes not continual coverage unless warranted, the latest on the story. That's how we do it in radio and why television is the visual medium but trying to over detail a story that isn't to fruition in many many ways. <br /><br />I do thank you, however, for agreeing with each of the points above, but then breakng away to express your opinion, though we don't see it the same way. That's ok.<br /><br />Final point - there aren't enough "hard facts" for 24 hours of speculation only. The repetition has become a blur that doesn't inform, but rather, confuses. .<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-62692838819164889792014-03-16T14:00:46.473-07:002014-03-16T14:00:46.473-07:0012;35 depicts Exhibit A; A stinking example of typ...12;35 depicts Exhibit A; A stinking example of typical Liberal sentiment when your point of view is at variance with theirs.

They report all day to new viewers who are just tuning in. You want them to keep changing what they report even though little has changed?<br /><br />TOO MUCH SPECULATION? There are very few hard facts but lots of speculation. If the news organizations limited themselves to reporting only hard facts, the coverage would be even more repetitive than it already has been; something that also makes you unhappy.<br /><br />TOO CONFUSING?

Nothing has changed and every experit is not an expert, apparently. Even Capt. Sullenberger has had enough speculation and is not a part now. <br /><br />Interesting factoid to keep in mind. CNN and Fox are now driving viewers away from wall-to-wall coverage. It was reported this morning on CNN that "despite criticism," - CNN has "doubled it's ratings" with the coverage. That, to me, wouldn't make Jeff Zucker very happy -- meaning that today, only 600,000 people are watching CNN, over it's average of 300,000 - according to "TV Newser" and CNN's own media show this morning.<br /><br />I thought that Martin Savidges coverage from the 777 simulator in Toronto was most comprehensive and revealing. However, playing it over and over and over has taken its toll. <br /><br />I think, now, that CNN is looking to hype the story more with speculation than fact -- preparing to set up it's "Death Row Stories" tonight. A shame.<br /><br />One more thing, why in the hell bother any relatives or family members? What did we expect them to say, react or be emotional about? Stupid unneeded coverage. Leave these people alone. I wish one of them would look into the camera and say, "How the fuck do you think I feel, asswipe?"<br /><br />A riveting story getting more confusing with all the experts and every pilot on the planet opining with no conclusive evidence. And Mary Schiavo needs to come clean as an attorney - she was beleaugered with her job at the Transportation Dept. and about forced out. She then went on to sue for survivor's benefits for families and made a lot of money doing so..
