Final words
I have seen two sets of "final words" from the flight. From one source:
- “All right, roger that” a pilot replied to a radio message from Malaysian air control.
- One of the pilots also replied, “All right, good night.”
It has been a few years since I was operational in ATC but I would have expected a read back of the frequency they were being transferred to.
ATC, MH370 contact (xxx control ) on (frequency) goodnight
Pilot, Roger (xxx) on (frequency) goodnight
("Roger that" seems to come from American TV, I'm continuously trying to stop trainees using it.)
Strange to get two pilots responding, both appearing to be non standard.
