#2 OK, but first things first.
Are they positive of the final track of MH370? And if not, how can anything "closely match" it?

#3 "The Captain's ability to handle stress at work and home was good. There was no known history of apathy, anxiety, or irritability. There were no significant changes in his life style, interpersonal conflict or family stresses."

That doesn't match what I heard from a VERY reliable source. Just the opposite as matter of fact. Pilot's personal life WAS in turmoil. Wife was fixin to divorce him and he had..performance issues w/girlfriend. He was also distraught over the ongoing political drama in MY as a Anwar Ibrahim supporter. Lastly - pilot had a very predictable pre-flight routine. He would arrive, do flight plan, pre-flight A/C, and smoke 1 x cigarette (numerous videos confirm). On this flight, after the pre-flight, he chained smoke about 8 cigarettes and looked visually upset - again caught on video. FBI thinks pilot is good for it.

Only a Mohammedan would see this as anything less than a wonderful opportunity.
