MH370 - Family speaks of pilot’s ‘disturbing behaviour’ in weeks prior to flight MH370

The Malaysian Insider – 11 hours ago

The wife of the pilot at the helm of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 told investigators that he stopped speaking to her in the weeks leading up to the ill-fated flight.

Faizah Khanum Mustafa Khan had allegedly informed investigators that "he retreated into a shell", spending time alone in his room in the house they shared, The Mail on Sunday reported today.

More than three weeks since flight MH370 disappeared with 239 crew and passengers aboard, investigators in Malaysia suspect that the plane may have been deliberately steered off course.

The plane is thought to have flown hundreds of miles out over the southern Indian Ocean where it eventually ran out of fuel and plunged into the sea.

Speaking about the mystery for the first time, the wife and daughter of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah said the 53-year-old pilot had been distracted and withdrawn in the weeks before the aircraft’s disappearance.

According to the same report, no suicide note has been found and no motive established, but police are continuing to concentrate their inquiries on the pilot’s background and whether his state of mind before the flight may be a factor.

Quoting a source close to the pilot’s family, The Mail on Sunday reported that Faizah told investigators that Zaharie had stopped speaking to her and spent time alone in his room where he had built a flight simulator.

"He just retreated into a shell. I found him distant and difficult to understand," she said, adding that her husband was so withdrawn he hardly spoke to his sons and was not close to them.

Of his three children, Zaharie appears to have been closest to his daughter Aishah, who flew back from Melbourne, Australia, to be with her family after MH370 went missing.

She had told investigators that her last conversations with her father was a lot different to those they shared before.

"He wasn’t the father I knew. He seemed disturbed and lost in a world of his own," she told investigators, according to the Mail on Sunday.

"He wasn’t his usual self. He was distant and cranky," she had said, adding that she did not know if there was another woman in her father's life.

Among other revelations from the unnamed source were that Zaharie was on the brink of divorcing his wife after nearly 30 years of marriage, but still refused to attend marriage counselling with Islamic elders.

He was also alleged to have expressed "utter frustration" at the jailing of his political hero, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in an appeals court hours before the flight. The Court of Appeal had ruled on March 7 that Anwar was guilty of sodomy, overturning an acquittal from the initial trial in 2012.

Faizah broke down repeatedly during two lengthy interviews with police, the family source told The Mail on Sunday, adding that one of the interviews lasted more than four hours.

However, despite the pilot’s behaviour, his family are convinced that he was  not responsible for the plane’s disappearance.

According to the report, Faizah refused to accept Zaharie might be involved in the flight’s disappearance, protesting: "It’s unfair to blame my husband."

His daughter Aishah also told investigators she did not believe he could be in any way responsible for the flight’s disappearance.

"I don’t believe he would ever intentionally endanger the lives of his crew and passengers," she insisted.

According to the Mail on Sunday, police interviews with family members have confirmed that the pilot, who lived with his family in an upmarket suburb in Kuala Lumpur, did not have any obvious financial problems. – March 30, 2014.

MH370 - Captain Mark Matthews' paints pessimistic assessment of black box search

March 30, 2014 - 7:59PM

Tom Allard

Finding the black box flight recorder of the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet is simply ''untenable'' as things stand at the moment, the US Navy officer who will lead the search has conceded.

The deeply pessimistic assessment from Captain Mark Matthews came as the Royal Australian Navy vessel Ocean Shield was being loaded with a ''pinger'' locator and an underwater drone critical to recovering the black box .

However, ADV Ocean Shield will not arrive in the 319,000 square kilometre search area for three to four days, while the beacon on the black box could have only four days of battery power left.

''It all depends on how effective we are at reducing the search area,'' said Captain Matthews, a search-and-recovery expert who was involved in the two-year search to find the black box of Air France flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean.

''Right now, the search area is basically the size of the Indian Ocean, which is an untenable amount of time to search.''

The black box - with its cockpit and flight data recorders - is the key to understanding why flight MH370 disappeared more than three weeks ago.

Highlighting the enormity of the task, Captain Matthews revealed that the ''towed pinger locator'' can detect emissions from the black box only if it is within about 1.6 kilometres of its beacon. And it must be towed at a snail-like 5km/h to be effective.

Captain Matthews said the black box's beacon could operate for a maximum of 45 days.

Further complicating matters is that even if debris of the plane is found, crew on Ocean Shield will then have to wait for oceanographers to complete the complex job of estimating where the plane actually crashed before the pinger locator can be usefully deployed.

Its point of impact will be hundreds of kilometres from where any debris floating on the surface of the Indian Ocean is found.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished 23 days ago, veering dramatically off its course to Beijing after its communications system was disabled.

Eight ships and 10 aircraft were again hunting for remnants of the aircraft on Sunday, although one of the Malaysian Air Force C-130s was unable to depart due to technical problems.

A Malaysian frigate will join the search on Monday as part of the expanding international effort, which includes five Chinese vessels, one of which is understood also to have a black box locator on board.

While many objects have been picked up by the vessels in the past two days, none of them have been identified as part of MH370.

Chief of Navy Ray Griggs said the new search area was located in a ''more conventional shipping lane'', meaning there would be more flotsam than further south.

Meanwhile, former chief of defence force Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston has been appointed by Prime Minister Tony Abbott as the overall leader of the rescue and investigation effort.

Vice Admiral Griggs said that Air Chief Marshal Houston ''will deal with high-level international co-ordination'', while Commodore Peter Leavy will command the multinational search-and-recovery operation.

Air Chief Marshal Houston's role is understood to be primarily related to a push by a number of nations for Australia to be the base of the air crash investigation, as revealed by Fairfax Media on Saturday.

While Malaysia will formally still lead the investigation as required by international convention, the analysis of wreckage and the black box would take place in Australia.

The Malaysian government has yet to comment on the proposal. However, government and aviation officials in Kuala Lumpur agree the nation did not have the capacity to deal with an investigation of this magnitude.

''Really, we are out of our depth,'' said a senior Malaysian police officer involved in the investigation.

HR Development - Sometimes Slower Is Better

Huggy Rao and Robert I. Sutton  -  3/27/14

Mastering the art of scaling a human organization requires learning when and how to shift gears from fast to slow ways of thinking.

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman demonstrates that human beings are blessed and cursed with the ease and speed with which we can make judgments and take instant and largely mindless actions — “the automatic System 1” as he calls it.

Human organizations, with their ingrained histories, rules, practices, standard operating procedures and mindsets, are similar. When people who work together share the right skills and motivation, coordinated and often complex action can unfold rapidly and with few errors. When it comes to scaling, this happens when an organization is packed with people who embrace and act on a shared mindset.

But there is danger in relying on ingrained behaviors too early and too often, even though people and organizations are prone to do so. A study by Boston College professors Clifford Holderness and Jeffrey Pontiff examined the fate of 122,765 American prisoners of war captured during World War II. They examined whether the senior officers among the POWs replicated the military’s rigid hierarchy or moved to a flatter and more flexible organizational structure in the camps.

The results were striking: prisoners in the most hierarchical camps suffered a death rate about 20 percent higher than their counterparts in the least hierarchical camps. Traditional hierarchies are effective given the need for quick and coordinated action on the battlefield, but they are too rigid given the flexibility and individual judgment required in prison camps. Captured senior officers who automatically replicated and clung to the traditional military mindset created inferior organizational structures compared to those who realized that a different model was required and then acted on such beliefs.

The broader lesson is that mastering the art of scaling a human organization requires learning when and how to shift gears from fast to slow ways of thinking. As Kahneman suggests, slowing down and thinking about what you are doing and why — shifting to that laborious, reasoned, deliberative and conscious “System 2” thinking, as he calls it — is the best defense when “you are in a cognitive minefield” — when you don’t know enough, risks are high or you are stuck.

Shifting to System 2 often requires forcing yourself to pause rather than plow ahead. This shift is demonstrated by some advice that Harvard Medical School professor Jerome Groopman got when, as a young doctor, he was unsure of a patient’s diagnosis. Dr. Linda Lewis instructed Groopman: “Don’t just do something, stand there.”

When it comes to scaling, System 2 thinking means doing the required upfront work to select, design and refine what you are going to spread and how to spread it, and constant vigilance is essential so that those easy and automatic responses that are hallmarks of System 1 don’t impair your efforts to sustain and keep improving excellence once your mindset and moves are deployed.

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn put it this way: “You have to be like a race car driver — you need to know when to accelerate, when to brake and when to change gears.” Consider the approach used by Stanford University professors Chuck Eesley and Amin Saberi to teach entrepreneurship to some 10,000 online students. In developing an online learning platform that promoted accountability among far-flung students, Eesley and Saberi used a blend of System 1 and System 2 thinking.

The teaching team often slowed down, thought about, built and tested methods that later reduced the burden on themselves by making it easy for students to post and grade work, to judge one another’s effort and skill, to form and work in teams, and for mentors to select and guide teams.
In Ghosn’s lingo, Eesley and Saberi figured out when to take their foot off the gas, downshift and hit the brakes so that later on they (and their students) could put the pedal to the metal and fly down the road.

AIRCRAFT STORIES - 30 Pilots And Flight Attendants Confess Their Best Kept Secrets

These questions were asked on Reddit. My mind has officially been blown. I travel a lot, so some of this is pretty scary if you ask me. Maybe I’ll start taking the train…

1. THE TRUE STORY BEHIND THOSE OXYGEN MASKS.

That if the oxygen masks drop down, you only have about 15 minutes of oxygen from the point of pulling them down. However, that is more than enough time for the pilot to take us to a lower altitude where you can breathe normally.

More important – at altitude, you have 15-20 seconds before you pass out. Put yours on first, then do your kids. Passing out for a few seconds won’t harm the kids.

2. THE WATER IN THE LAVATORIES IS VERY DIRTY TOO.

Whatever you do, do not drink the water in the lav. It is bad enough to “wash” your hands in it. We sanitize the water tank at selected maintenance intervals, however parasites build tolerances to these cleaners.

Check the outside of the aircraft when walking in. If the paint is crappy shape, the plane is in crappy shape. Skydrol (hydraulic fluid) is a nasty fluid and will dissolve everything. So if the paint is missing, it’s probably from a skydrol leak. No one wants a hydraulic leak at 35,000 ft in the air. As you can’t just pull over and top the reservoir off.

3. THE REAL REASON THE LIGHTS ON THE AIRPLANE DIM WHEN LANDING.

When a plane is landing at night, they dim the interior lights in case you need to evacuate upon landing… your eyes are already adjusted to the darkness so you’ll be able to see better once outside the plane.

4. LIGHTNING AND THE POWER OF A PILOT.

My dad’s been an airline pilot for almost 20 years, and apparently planes get struck by lightning all the time. Also if a passenger is causing a scene in the jetway he can refuse to let them on and take off without them.

The captain has almost limitless authority when the doors are closed. He is allowed to arrest people, write fines and even take the will of a dying passenger

5. THOSE LAVATORIES UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE.

You are able to unlock airplane lavatories from the outside. There is usually a lock mechanism concealed behind the no smoking badge on the door. Just lift the flap up and slide the bolt to unlock.

6. A TRUE STORY OF A BOMB THREAT.

I have a friend who’s a commercial pilot. Around five years ago he was doing a flight from LA to Tokyo when an anonymous caller phoned in a bomb threat while they were over the middle of the Pacific. Apparently they have procedures for this kind of thing, but there was nothing anyone could do in this situation except stay calm and not alert the passengers (obviously). He said for the rest of the flight every bump of turbulence made his adrenaline spike. They took this case especially seriously because there was a group of foreign dignitaries sitting in the first class cabin.

7. REGARDING FOOD ON THE PLANE.

My dad works for a large airline, he told me a few little things

• 2 pilots are served different meals and cannot share, this is done in case of food poisoning.
• Stealing food, even if they are going to throw it out can get you fired instantly. You can ask your supervisor, but you cannot take food. They don’t want people messing with it.

8. THE TRUTH ABOUT FLYING WITH PETS.

I am an aircraft fueler.

One thing I cannot stress enough is how your pets are treated. While your airline will take the best possible actions, some things cannot be avoided, like the noise on the ramp. I cannot stand out there without ear protection, and imagine your pet sitting out there on the ramp waiting to be loaded onto the plane being exposed to the same amount of noise I am.

Please people, think twice before flying your pets.

9. WHAT FLIGHT ATTENDANTS REALLY DO AFTER TELLING THE PLANE TO TURN OFF THEIR ELECTRONICS.

My sister is a flight attendant, she says after she tells everyone to turn off all electronics, she goes to the back and pulls out her phone and starts texting.

10. A TRICK FOR MAKING MORE SPACE FOR YOURSELF.

Arm rests – aisle and window seat: Run your hand along the underside of the armrest, just shy of the joint you’ll feel a button. Push it, and it will lift up. Adds a ton of room to the window seat and makes getting out of the aisle a helluva lot easier.

11. DON’T DRINK WATER ON A PLANE THAT DIDN’T COME FROM A BOTTLE.

Former Lufthansa cargo agent here.

Do not EVER drink water on an aircraft that did not come from a bottle. Don’t even TOUCH IT. The reason being the ports to purge lavatory shit and refill the aircraft with potable water are within feet from each other and sometimes serviced all at once by the same guy. Not always, but if you’re not on the ramp watching, you’ll never know.

12. ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCKING YOUR BAGS.

Lock your bags, carry-on bags included.

Look online or in a travel store for TSA-approved locks. The TSA has keys to open those locks in case they need to further inspect them (and hopefully not steal from them). And most people don’t think to lock their carry-on, but especially now with load factors very high, more and more people are having to gate check bags. Once you drop your bag at the end of the jetway for gate-checking, anyone from a fellow passenger, to a gate agent, to a ramp agent has access to your bag.

13. HOW A PILOT APPROACHES LANDING.

When you experience a hard landing in bad weather it wasn’t because of a lack of pilot skills but it is in fact intentional. If the runway is covered in water the airplane has to touch down hard in order to puncture the water layer and prevent aqua planing.

“Landings are nothing more than controlled crashes.” Pilot friend quote.

14. TIPPING COULD GO A LONG WAY.

My girlfriend is a flight attendant. NO ONE tips flight attendants. If you give your FA a fiver with your first drink you’ll probably drink for free the rest of the flight.

15. PILOTS ARE SLEEPING MOST OF THE TIME.

1/2 of pilots sleep while flying and 1/3 of the time they wake up to find their partner asleep.

16. JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE FLYING WITH A BIG AIRLINE, DOESN’T MEAN THE PILOTS ARE EXPERIENCED.

Regional airline pilot here. You may have bought a ticket on Delta, United, or American, but chances are you’ll be flying on a subcontractor. That means the pilots have a fraction of the experience, training, and pay of the big mainline carrier. Also, I don’t get paid enough to care if you make your connection. Most of the time we fly slower than normal to make more money. The only time we fly fast is if ATC tells us to or if it’s the go home leg.

17. THE TRUTH BEHIND TURNING OFF ELECTRONICS.

Pilot here. Having to turn off electronics on a plane is totally useless.

Mobile electronic devices won’t really bring an airplane down but they can be really annoying to pilots. Just imagine sitting in the flightdeck descending to your destination and hearing the interference of a 100+ cellphones picking up a signal. I have missed a clearance or 2 that way.

18. SKY MALL IS ONE BIG RIP-OFF.

Secret: All of the stuff in Sky Mall can be purchased on the internet for much less money.

19. HOW YOUR CHECKED BAGS ARE REALLY TREATED.

If it says “fragile,” it’s getting thrown harder. If it’s says this side up, it’s going to be upside down. We have to fit freight and 100+ bags in a cargo pit. It has to fit how it’s going to fit…I will tell you that when we see “I heart baggage handlers” bag tags…We take special care of your shit.

20. A FLIGHT ATTENDANT REVEALS JUST HOW DIRTY EVERYTHING TRULY IS.

I worked for Southwest as a flight attendant. Those blankets and pillows? Yeah, those just get refolded and stuffed back in the bins between flights. Only fresh ones I ever saw were on an originating first flight in the morning in a provisioning city. Also, if you have ever spread your peanuts on your tray and eaten, or really just touched your tray at all, you have more than likely ingested baby poo. I saw more dirty diapers laid out on those trays than food. And those trays, yeah, never saw them cleaned or sanitized once.

21. A LOOPHOLE SO YOU NEVER HAVE TO PAY BAGGAGE FEES.

You can almost always gate check baggage (unless it’s abnormally large) take two large carry-ons and ask then to gate check one. It’s free and I never pay fees.

22. MOST FLIGHTS ARE ALSO CARRYING HUMAN ORGANS.

The majority of domestic flights have human remains or organs on them. I work below wing as a baggage handler. Watch out the window for long boxes that say, “Head” at one end… Oh, and I can fit 150 bags in bin 3 of a Boeing 737-300.

23. AIRPORTS HAVEN’T COVERED ALL OF THEIR SECURITY BASES YET.

There are actually legitimate security loopholes that, if widely known, would let average citizens get right next to airliners, runways, and taxiways. Like any system, if you know how it works, you know where the cracks are.

24. PLANES WITHOUT ENGINES CAN STILL GLIDE FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

A pilot told me if both engines fail, a plane can glide 6 nautical miles for every 5000 feet. So at 35,000 feet, a plane can glide about 42 miles without power. Its why most accidents happen landing or taking off.

25. THE DRINKING WATER USED FOR COFFEE AND TEA IS FILTHY.

The drinking water, that used for making coffee, tea, etc., should NEVER be consumed. The holding tanks in these sometimes 60 year old planes are never cleaned. They have accumulated so much greenish grime on the walls that in some places it can be inches thick.

This one is very known by all airline employees.

27. WHY IT’S ALWAYS EASIER TO JUST TAKE THE BATTERIES OUT.

Women: if you pack a toy in your bag, take the batteries out. Because if I’m loading your bag, and I hear it vibrating I have to tell my lead. Then my lead has to come pull you off the aircraft and you have to open your bag and turn off your toy in front of a bunch of giggling grown ass men.

27. PLANES HAVE A HARD TIME FLYING ON HOT DAYS.

I worked the ramp in Phoenix. On especially hot days, we had to offload cargo because planes struggled to take off in the thin air.

28. EVEN THE HEADPHONES THAT COME WRAPPED UP AREN’T NEW.

I used to work for warehouse that supplied a certain airline with items. The headsets that are given to you are not new, despite being wrapped up. They are taken off the flight, “cleaned”, and then packaged again.

29. HOW TO TELL FROM THE GROUND IF A PLANE IS BEING HIJACKED.

If the plane is being hijacked when the pilot lands they will leave the wing flaps up that slow the plane down, this is to signal the airport that there is something happening in the plane.

30. THE REAL REASON THERE ARE STILL ASHTRAYS IN THE LAVATORIES.

Here’s one: ashtrays in the lavatories are mandatory equipment even though the FAA banned smoking on flights years ago. The reasoning is that if people do decide to smoke, they want them to have a place other than the trash can to throw the butt.

Who want’s to take a trip? Not me! I wish I can rewind 10 minutes ago and chosen not to read this. Eh, whatever!
