Pilot: I established contact with MAS370

It is being reported that the US has reviewed their infrared satelite data that looks for misile launches, and did not find the signature of a fuel explosion mid-air.

So the plane likely traveled some distance from the point of last radar contact.

Now the question is, where did the plane go?:
1. Did it slowly lose altitude and crash into the sea at a point further away and away from where everyone is searching?
2. Did they land somewhere (whether at the direction of hijackers or not)?
3. Did they crash on land and are covered by the triple canopy jungle endemic in the area?

I asked whether or not a pilot had been in contact with the missing jet yesterday. My answer is confirmed with this report.

This report suggests that pilot suidide is less likely. Investigators will surely investigate that possibility. But the relationships here suggest that the pilots were well connected with their community.
