Was wondering about that. Looking at the list in wiki this morning of unexplained aircraft disappearances. There are many. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aerial_disappearancesIf this remains unresolved it will go down as the greatest loss of life in an unexplained disappearance. And someone has already put this one down to hijacking on Wiki, which should be corrected. In this case it is all still speculation but in the absence of evidence, if it is a question of human error vs conspiracy, I go with human error every time. H

Now the reports here are saying the systems had been started to be shut down before the last voice communication from the flight crew. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- When someone at the controls calmly said the last words heard from the missing Malaysian jetliner, one of the Boeing 777's communications systems had already been disabled, authorities said, adding to suspicions that one or both of the pilots were involved in the disappearance of the flight. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/final-words-jet-came-systems-171331126.html

I feel a little for the family and reputation of these pilots, with all this speculation focusing on them, and no hard evidence.

The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

Theory--The Russians hired the two pilots to fly to Russia so Tupolev or another aircraft factory can copy the 777 design. This assuming Boeing has tight network security since Microsoft is nearby Seriously?

The 777 isn't exactly high level sensitive technology. It's a commercial product sold and operated in large numbers all over the world.
If the Russians wanted to reverse engineer a 20 year old airliner there would be far easier ways to get hold of an example other than arranging the theft of one during a scheduled airline flight with 239 people on board. They could for example, just buy one.
Or they could have just taken a really close look at the 777s that Aeroflot operated a few years back.

I'm going to publicly rule out the possibility it's being turned into a seaplane.

-- this hijacking appears to have been carefully planned with 1 or more person having very good knowledge of the aircrafts communication/navigational systems
-- the possibility that the aircraft was landed somewhere is a very realistic possibility given the circumstances

Would it be possible to change the aircraft radio id whilst flying?

Future Russians...how could you tell? They'll be just as unhappy as those from the present...
