Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370: The most probable facts

[shaunbhoy]

What is a likely probability as opposed to a probability? What is the likelihood that those probabilities are correct?

A "likely probability" would be used to describe the chances of a sasguru theory on virtually any topic being exposed as piss and wind.

A "probability" is how likely he would be to try and defend such ridiculous notions even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

mechanical failure is still more probable than malicious intent since no one has yet explained what the point of that malicious intent was

Suicide by pilot.
It's more common than you might (or might not) think.

[sasguru]

All of which are just speculation, and of no more import than the theories of many others.

So its speculation to say its either mechanical failure or malicious intent

You got any other theories bird brain?

Suicide by pilot.

That's malicious intent.
The one thing I did forget is pilot error - now that is certainly more common than people think.

Sadly you're too stupid and/or ignorant to see that the joke is whether the words are used in a technical or "English sense" - and my play on words was deliberate.
Only OG spotted it.

No chance, not even a cretin could make enough errors to feck things up that badly.

I take it you've not worked on one suity's projects?

Have you read the transcript of the Air France that went down in Atlantic out of Rio?
Poor training, pilot error all the way, totally preventable, hundreds dead.

Yes.
Pilot error was certainly a major factor, but it was not the only one.

[sasguru]

Yes.
Pilot error was certainly a major factor, but it was not the only one.

Fair enough.
What hacks me off is the way the pilots are assumed guilty already.
That would certainly be the best outcome for everyone except them.
Blame the pilots and design flaws, poor maintenance, lax security etc etc , if they exist, can be swept under the carpet.
