Shortly after the aircraft was posted as missing a Malaysian Government minister, or perhaps an airline official, announced that the aircraft had undergone a maintenance check ten days previous to this flight.
Does anyone know if the following questions have been asked and/or addressed?:
1. What items were covered on this maintenance check and were any snags discovered and rectified ?
2. Had the aircraft flown since that check?
3. If so, were any unservicebilities logged and if so what were they?
There is undoubtedly vested interest involved in banging on about hijacking rather than more likely scenarios involving aircraft failure.
