I find it hard to believe that a depressed pilot will bring a whole plane load of passengers to their deaths with him. If anything, professional pride would stop him from doing this even for a pilot with suicidal tendencies.

From what I read, suiciders normally act alone in their action except for the case of bringing their loved ones along with them but that is more likely due to financial issues so he/she don't want their loved ones to carry the debt after him/her.

As for mass shootings, these are normally carried out by a madman ie gone crazy n not a potential suicider. The madman normally ends up dead as well but that is more likely a consequence of his actions rather than his intention to commit suicide, my 2 cents.........

Difficult to say. I thought the Silkair crash, at some point investigation also zoomed in on the pilot? but can't remember the outcome of it. was it open verdict?

Plus i think a few yr ago, one pilot in europe crashed a passenger plane into the Alps or some mountain, after locking the door when his copilots had stepped out? And after that, the aviation industry came up with some protocol that cannot leave only one person in the cockpit at any one time...

You forgot the suicide bombers who strapped themselves with explosive.

That kind is not suicide but murder. Their primary intention is not to die but to inflict as many deaths as possible and their death is a means towards that objective. I don't think it's comparable with a commercial pilot bringing down the plane he is piloting.

Actually no but I just googled n yes it seems this is a suicide case. Possibly the same as mentioned by bro Atrecord.

Perhaps I am wrong but I still feel it's a rarity but anyway, let's give the pilots the benefit of the doubt till proven otherwise cos it's not very fair to tarnish their names without proof although I do understand the emotions of the family of the deceased who want answers.

Six years on, families demand new search for missing Malaysia Airlines plane

PUTRAJAYA (Reuters) - Six years since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished from radars, relatives of the 239 people who were on board are calling on authorities to revive efforts to find the missing plane.

The fate of flight MH370 became one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries when it disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Repeated searches for the aircraft were called off in 2018.

Holding star-shaped signs reading “Never give up”, “Waiting”, and “Resume the search”, the relatives of those who were on the flight marked the sixth anniversary of their disappearance by making a fresh appeal for answers.

“The pain is still the same, the fact that the plane is still missing is still the same, and the fact that we don’t know what happened to the plane is still the same, “ said Grace Nathan, a lawyer whose mother was on the flight, during the event in Malaysia’s administrative capital, Putrajaya.

“There are more questions than there are answers and that shouldn’t be the case after six years,” she told reporters after the event.

A piece of aircraft debris, believed to be from the missing plane, was on display at the gathering.

Malaysia, China and Australia ended a two-year, A$200 million ($132.90 million) underwater search in the southern Indian Ocean in January 2017 after finding no trace of the plane.

In 2018, Malaysia contracted U.S. firm Ocean Infinity to resume the search on a “no-cure, no-fee”-basis, meaning it would pay the firm up to $70 million if it found the plane. But the 138-day search was also fruitless.

“We depend a lot on the government to take some initiative. We want the government to come forward and say that they are open to companies coming to search,” Nathan said, calling for the government to engage Ocean Infinity again.

Last month, the Transport Ministry said it had not received any new credible evidence to initiate a new search following a report that a fresh effort to find the plane could be mounted.

Meanwhile, Najib Razak, who was prime minister when MH370 disappeared, said he hoped the new government would restart search efforts.

“We spent a lot of money looking for the plane... But unfortunately, we couldn’t locate it,” Najib told Reuters during an interview on Wednesday,

Sadly, when it comes to the search it's no money no talk. The Australian gahment suddenly claimed the pilot suicide holds no ground. I think it's more like no money pump into the search. Can only hope a miracle will appear.

actually, whatever the reasons, if it is man made, then some steps/precautions should be established to prevent a repeat. Was this done and have they got any plan?

Oh yeah. Become Firefly Airlines. No wonder they are so keen on the airlines.

If the speculation of the pilot suicide is true the airlines will be liable.

Isn't allowing a flight with a non-functioning blackbox against regulations? Can someone enlighten us please? 

If so, Malaysia proves to be Malu-sia once again.
