I'm a simple guy so I like to start with the basics: No conspiracies, but there are voids.
If I am responsible for either handing off or accepting Flight 370, as soon as it goes silent I am alerting the entire air traffic control system...and they no doubt have a protocol to handle just this situation.
Break out the check list and get busy.
I'd also like to hear the tapes of the controllers after the IFF/Transponder was shut off.
I lost the ability to transmit radio comms (could still hear them) once with a controller on a very innocuous IFR flight, had to squawk the lost comm code and the world lit up: Two popped circuit breakers later and we were back in business.
Trust me, when this flight went dark, the whole system was alerted.
