Haven't we had that info from the beginning?
No.
And if you don't believe me, ask HotD.
Malaysia Airlines believes the co-pilot aboard the missing plane spoke the last words to ground controllers.
Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said at a news conference that initial investigations indicate that co-pilot is the one who calmly said, “All right, good night.”
Officials previously have said that those words came at a point in the March 8 flight when one of the jetliner’s data communications systems already had been switched off.
The timing of the last words has sharpened suspicions that one or both of the pilots may have been involved in the plane’s disappearance.
The clues are in the route it took after it vanished from air traffic control. It turned back on itself and flew along the border of Malaysia and Thailand.
It flew in and out of the countries eight times. This is probably very accurate flying rather than just a coincidence. As both air traffic controllers in both those countries would probably assume that the aircraft was in the other country's jurisdiction and not pay it any attention.
Captain Simon Hardy's analysis stated: "It does a strange hook," he says. "I spent a long time thinking about this and eventually I found that it was a similar maneuver to what I'd done in Australia over Ayers Rock. Because the airway goes directly over Ayers Rock you don't actually see it very well because it disappears under the nose of the aircraft.
"So in order to look at it you have to turn left or right, get alongside it and then execute a long turn. If you look at the output from Malaysian 370, there were actually three turns not one. Someone was looking at Penang."
Also, the pilot had been flying that route for 17 years, and was from Penang.
