You do know that "professional" pilots are only allowed to fly 20 hours a week, right? 

Which is 16x more than someone who only flies 5 hours a month. 

Would that not depend on which month it is?

Nope. Whether it's January, February, March, April, May or any of the others, 5 hours a month is always 16x less than 80 hours a month 

That is true, but craigb(ITHRN) said 20 hours a week, which is 80 hours a month in 3 out of 4 Februaries but no other month.

Now we're splitting months!

Interesting read.  But still doesn't really account for no distress signals of any kind being sent from the plane. Or does it?
 

"For me, the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense in a fire. And there most likely was an electrical fire. In the case of a fire, the first response is to pull the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one. If they pulled the busses, the plane would go silent. It probably was a serious event and the flight crew was occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, navigate, and lastly, communicate is the mantra in such situations"

I think that pretty much sums it up.

I still say before they "pulled the busses" they would've sent a distress signal/call. Just my opinion.

The last update I heard were that there were no updates.

Looks like Courtney Love has found the plane ...

Love this comment about her "discovery." 
“What are the odds though that it would land right next to a red sign saying ‘plane’?"

Found It..
 

Latest word (whatever that means anymore) is that the new altered course was layed into the onboard flight computer BEFORE the "all right, goodnight" sign off.  Meaning, of course, no fire, no problem, no disaster.  Just sayin.

OK, I think I have identified a contributing factor to the plane's disappearance:
