Zombie plane (pilots forgot to turn on cabin pressure switch to auto), malfunction of pressure switch, intentional?

Here are my guesses

Flight MH370 had a malfunction. Pilot(s) tried to contain. Communication is last in their protocol.
The pilot turned left for going back to closest base.
The malfunction grew and plane lost tracking.
Pilot kept flying hoping to get close over airport.
Maybe pilot and passenger were incapacitated as soon as they made that left turn.
All passengers/pilots may have died after the left turn. (I hope)
The plane became a zombie and kept flying, till it plunged after running out of fuel.

One glitch:  The pilots programmed the LEFT TURN 12 minutes well before the "All right. Good night"

not true. they have since analyzed the communications more carefully and concluded that at the moment when he said, "all right good night", the routing was all the way to beijing. the original news reports have been found to be incorrect on this point.

there is a lot of information that was originally presented which has since been corrected in this investigation. for example the total time the plane was in the air after losing contact with malaysian military radar. originally they said two to three hours. eventually they changed that to nearly seven hours. so too with the pre-programming thing.  i don't think this is anything sinister, but simply reflects the malaysian authorities' inexperience in handling this sort of investigation. in the interest of an open investigation they've made the mistake of conveying preliminary and not properly vetted information to the families and the public at large. americans and probably the french have more experience with this sort of thing and do a bang up PR job and know how to control the flow of information.
