Cox said the pilot, Shah, was the only one aboard with the knowledge and experience to disable MH370’s datalink system.

‘I was so staunch about saying it wasn’t the pilot,’ she told Sky News. ‘But now I have to throw all of that out after nearly eight years (since the disappearance) and three years of searching (for the plane, by the authorities).
