Malaysian Authorities Covering Up MH 370 Pilot Involvement?

A recent article from the AirlineRatings.com website suggests that there is plenty of evidence that the captain of the flight practiced the final flight on his home simulator before actually carrying it out, but that the Malaysian authorities covered it up.

From the article:

"Seven flight waypoints” recovered from Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s flight simulator program — flown just weeks before the plane’s disappearance and which replicated MH370’s final flight — were all from one session.

"But Malaysian authorities, in the final report, found that the waypoints were from separate sessions and therefore of no significance.

There is no question the waypoints were from one flight into the southern Indian Ocean,” the industry source said. “This is a cover-up.”

Another source, that works as a contractor to Malaysia Airlines told AirlineRatings.com that “very early on” after MH370 disappeared the airline’s operational management said, “Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was responsible.”

But, Chief investigator Kok Soo Chon said, “we are not of the opinion that it could have been an event committed by the pilot.”

Byron Bailey, who writes on aviation matters for The Australian, in today's paper says that the investigation has been bungled from the outset. Bailey has a command on the 777. He points to several flaws in the Malaysian report. To reopen the search he suggests that a coronial inquest might be a starting point.

A link would have been helpful.

has a command on the 777
Neither of those is necessarily an indication of any particular expertise in accident investigation.
