It's no less likely than anything else...in fact lacking compelling evidence otherwise, suicide or mechanical failure would be the only plausible explanations. Have you never heard of people committing suicide and trying to hide it so family can get insurance?
I only posted what the guy said. I thought it was interesting, and could certainly be one explanation why the pilot didn't just nose-dive into the drink. And it's really not some intricate scheme - lock the captain out, turn the plane west over the ocean, and depressurize the cabin. In fact, it's a far simpler idea than all these elaborate conspiracy theories. And you know what they say about the simplest explanation...
