All right, good night. and frankly, i've also heard air traffic control demand that the pilot do a proper readback, 370 contacting 120, all right, good night. i've heard it both ways. you cannot just take this. since whoever said it -- we've been told it was the co-pilot. he didn't indicate the plane was on fire, a bomb had gone off, or there was some dreadful incident going on, we can i think realistically assume, that if mechanical option is the preferred choice, that nothing had happened by then, because that would be very odd to simply say all right, good night, and not say by the way, the...

Switched off, and then you hear a voice say, "all right. good night," are you convinced that it is the pilot, given that we just talked to one pilot before the break who was saying usually there is a whole lot of other information identifiable information for the pilot before they say good night? is this -- how strange is this to you? >> it's strange. but richard's right. ordinarily you have to do the readback and you have to do the readback because, and it's part of air traffic control, because sometimes pilots get lost in the hertz. meaning they have the wrong frequency and switch over, ther...

We're dealing, and here, this is one of them, with conflicting pieces of information. it may all become ridiculously clear when somebody tells comes out tomorrow and says, well, no, he didn't say, all right, good night. that was a mistake. or something else happened. you know? for example, one person's just e-mailed me to point out the, "all right. good night," it should have been a full readback from the pilot, with the name of the aircraft, malaysia 3-7 d-0, acknowledging what he just heard and then saying, all right, good night. but these are minor details, and conflicting details in the ji...

That's one of the pilots' voices. the equipment is easy to come by and reliable. here's the third thing. the third thing is every airline trains on a verbal hijack code as well. so malaysia airlines ought to know whether or not the pilot said this, these codes, that they do and only they know what their words are. so if he had been hijacked at that point, presumably he would have said something, because he the verbal chance to do so. all right, good night, is not pilot lingo. so at this point, should have found out if its his voice. reliable ways to do it. the readback missing. maybe we just d...

In the world of whiting that all right, good night, could have been a code for something else that perhaps could have been in way sort of a mayday? >> no. i don't believe so. and if it is, it's not -- nothing that i've ever heard of before. one would have expected a full readout to be something along the lines of, malaysia, 3-7-0, contact, whatever the sequence was and he would have said the frequency he needs to contact vietnam, malaysia, 3-7-0, good night nap would have been the normal way. we don't know, i think whoever was revealing that all right, good night, didn't give us the whole read...
