That'll be an hour you could have better spent doing pretty much literally anything else.

Re the clip posted by Paul O'Rourke; The above quote summed that up quite nicely. Just a few seconds into that clip I heard the Announcer say that Amelia's Earhart's aircraft had been discovered '154,000 feet below the surface of the Ocean' 
That's what it sounded like to me anyway. And at that point I gave up on the clip!!

Seems to follow the standard formula of taking one has-been (or wannabe, dealer's choice) journo to unquestioningly and uncritically "interview" as many nut-jobs as the time format will reasonably allow in order to churn out as many controversial "hot-takes" as possible. Little wonder Joe and Joanne Six-pack have essentially no idea as to the facts surrounding the disappearance.

[QUOTE=Paul O'Rourke;11615453]Ross Coulthart has just started a new show on news nation (Youtube) called “Reality Check with Ross Coulthart.”
He said his next show was on MH370 however, no date or time has been given.
The same Ross Coulthart received the Spoon Award at the last Australian Skeptics Conference for his dubious promoting of UFOs.

Serious question relating to details of the MH370 disappearance:-
On the B777, are pilot's flight bags and jackets stored/hung inside the cockpit? I'd say definitely yes for the flight bag, but is there some wardrobe space inside or perhaps just outside the cockpit for the pilot's jackets?

Thanks BuzzBox.
A follow-up question if I may:- when you first enter the cockpit for a flight, dump your bag and hang up your jacket, presumably at some point around this time you would turn off (or switch to flight mode) your cellphone. What would you then do with the phone - stick it in a pocket, or put it away in your flight bag/jacket pocket ?

If you are serious then DH106 why dont you just get to the point of what the basis of your question is. You are on what was many years ago a forum for professional pilots and your question is where are the jackets kept? Just put whatever theory you have about why a widebody jet goes from one side of the Malay Peninsular to the other then flies south to the Indian Ocean because of where the pilot may or may not have hung his jacket.
Thanks BuzzBox.

I somehow doubt anything different happened on MH370.

I'm just trying to leverage as much info out of the fact the the first officer's phone pinged as the flight passed Penang.
It struck me that with the theory that the captain had gone rogue and perhaps locked the first officer out of the cockpit (maybe when he went to use the restroom) - how likely would it be that the first officer would have his phone on his person when locked out of the cockpit in order to be able to switch it on and get the ping later on.
Clearly the first officer did have access to his phone and made an effort at communication, since the phone was in fact turned on which wouldn't normally happen in flight. Perhaps this argues against the "locked out of the cockpit" theory.
