"They" sure as hell seem parked over the Malay Peninsula cloaked and ready to abduct commercial A320-200's.

Too bad, they still haven't found the Malaysia flight from March.

The final communications between the pilot of ill-fated flight QZ8501 and air traffic control have been revealed as Indonesian naval vessels moved late last night to check new reports of an oil slick in the search zone.
The strain meanwhile has begun to show on some families, who expressed frustration with AirAsia's chief executive Tony Fernandes and the chief pilot in closed meetings on Monday.

Indonesian state navigation operator AirNav said late on Monday that the Airbus 320-200 captain, Iriyanto, had requested permission at 6.12am local time on Sunday to turn left to avoid a storm.

The request was granted and the plane turned left seven miles. The captain then requested to be able to climb saying: "Request to higher level," according to AirNav standards and safety director Wisnu Darjono, as quoted by the Jakarta Post.

The air traffic controller responded: "Intended to what level?", to which Iriyanto indicated he wanted to go to 38,000 feet.

But there were six planes in the area at the time, another AirNav spokesman said, so, after consulting with the destination airport, Changi in Singapore, air traffic control told QZ8501 it could only go to 34,000 feet.

"But when we informed the pilot of the approval at 6.14am, we received no reply," Wisnu said.

According to earlier timelines, all communication between the plane and Jakarta was lost three minutes later, and at 6.18am, it went off the radar entirely.

QZ8501 Latest: Six bodies retrieved from sea

JAKARTA: Indonesian Metro TV reported that they have found six bodies.

Several bodies found floating in waters where the Indonesian AirAsia flight went missing have been retrieved.

Officials who got off a helicopter in Pangkalan Bun, Surabaya confirmed this.

EARLIER REPORT: Debris spotted during an aerial search for Indonesia AirAsia flight QZ8501 is from the missing plane, Indonesia's director general of civil aviation told AFP.

"For the time being it can be confirmed that it's the AirAsia plane and the transport minister will depart soon to Pangkalan Bun," Djoko Murjatmodjo said.

"Based on the observation by search and rescue personnel, significant things have been found such as a passenger door and cargo door. It's in the sea, 100 miles (160 kilometres) southwest of Pangkalan Bun," he said, referring to the town in Central Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo.

Indonesian aerial searchers earlier today spotted items resembling an emergency slide and plane door in the sea as they hunted for traces of the Indonesia AirAsia plane which disappeared Sunday in a storm over the Java Sea with 162 people on board.--AFP
