Once again. If the waypoint change was reported via ACARS at 1:07
WHY DID IT TAKE 10 DAYS to realize this information.
It's a text message
TEN
DAYS.
Either they are oblivious to everything, or this report is untrue like most reports have been.
There are reports that US officials are still attempting, yet being denied, access to the Flight Simulator.
It is possible the people Malaysia had interpreting the message either missed or concealed the fact (neither would be the first time in this investigation, sadly) until other officials were eventually given access to the hard data
It is also possible they all knew all along but were holding back the information until other information was leaked/released (similar to a few key pieces of confirmed "turning around" evidence that seemingly hit after it was leaked the plane was in the air much longer than first revealed)
I agree it is questionable, but it is possibly only that because we are not part of the investigation - we only know what the investigators tell us, when they decide to tell us stuff
