That's quite possible, but I think it's equally possible that the jet was commandeered by someone else. It sounds like security awareness /discipline of the crew was not very good. If the cockpit door was not secured, someone could have taken over quickly before the crew had a chance to react.My guess is that the pilot was up to no good.
It seems strange that the Malaysian authorities waited almost a week before searching the homes of the flight crew.
Very rapid fire/explosion on the flight deck: I guess it's possible, and interruption of electrical systems could explain the lack of transponder/ACARS transmissions. But it's inconsistent with the plane staying airborne for 4+ hours more (if that's accurate), other transmissions from the plane continuing (i.e some electrical systems remaining operational).
