You may persist with the idea that this is SAR only, but that is a semantic distinction only. I'll guarantee that Malaysian authorities believe and are behaving as if this is an investigation.
If the pilot's home simulator hasn't been looked-at, it's only because the authorities don't at the moment believe it to be relevant. (And at the moment I don't believe it to be relevant.)
