Malaysia's military believes it tracked a missing jetliner by radar over the Strait of Malacca, far from where it last made contact with civilian air traffic control
19.00 There is a discussion raging on this
professional pilot's internet forum concerning loss of Malaysia Airlines
mystery.
17.50 Malaysia Airlines has released a statement saying that it is "shocked"
by allegations aired in an Australian news programme of a past cockpit
security breach involving the co-pilot on its missing passenger jet.Among those aboard were First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, who along with a fellow pilot violated airline rules in 2011 by allowing two young South African women into their cockpit during a flight, one of the women told Sydney-based Nine Network.
The report included photos of the women in the cockpit, with one appearing to show them posing with a man resembling Fariq. Passengers have been prohibited from entering the cockpit during a flight after the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
"Malaysia Airlines has become aware of the allegations being made against First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid which we take very seriously. We are shocked by these allegations," a statement by the airline said.
