One of the reasons that it could be suicide is quite simply the location (or should I say rough estimate of the location. I better go check with Dolan the magnificent). The deep isolated waters would make an ideal place for Hari Kari. Very hard to find/retrieve enough evidence to investigate the cause. I'm not sure of the Malaysian laws but in many parts of the world there are no insurance payouts claimable for suicide, hence a pilot could decide to make suicide hard to determine by ditching in the worlds deepest ocean. The Asians are also very proud people (I mean that in a positive way) and the pilot may have considered that and not wanted his family scorned, ostracised or even attacked by an outraged community, or financially disadvantaged. Suicide cannot be ruled out. Also suicides and the mindset behind them take various different forms. There is the plotter and planner who wants it to look like an accident/mystery, often no note or evidence is left behind as that would give the game away. There is the suicide in which a note is left and the person suiciding doesn't care what chaos ensues once he/she has checked out. Some are planned meticulously, others are done on a whim. Then there is the Lubbitz style suicide. The one that goes out in a blaze of glory causing untold carnage to many. This is a mentally ill individual who leaves the world with a middle finger salute.
It's all very very sad, it's tragic. Many of these individuals are quite simply very ill, but I'm not making excuses.
But there is a much more putrid smell to this accident and it is that inaction, lies, incompetence and suspect activities of several nations that raises my red flag and makes me think there is much more to this malaise. It's simply still too early to tell what went on that fateful night, and my heart goes out to all those affected. But as I've said for some time, it is palpable that a bureaucrat with a penchant for facial manscaping be in charge of one of this centuries greatest aviation mysteries.
I'm sure that P2 would suggest there is MTF.
