Chris Goodfellow wrote:(Emphasis added)Evidently the ACARS went inoperative some time before. Disabling the ACARS is not easy, as pointed out. This leads me to believe more in an electrical problem or an electrical fire than a manual shutdown. I suggest the pilots probably were not aware ACARS was not transmitting.

In light of that after more than a year missing, why dont they entertain the thought that the flight is indeed on terra firma.......somewhere. Someone is hiding some bit of information that would point to where to look, IMHO.
