Hijacking still seems like a stretch, mostly because if it were it has accomplished absolutely nothing. I'm leaning more towards pilot committing suicide by depressurising the cabin and then crashing it himself, but honestly I know about the same as I did a week ago: next to nothing. But hijacking usually means some time of goals is trying to be accomplished. If the goal was the show that Malaysia is poorly run and incompentent, well, mission accomplished. Otherwise I don't see what a hijacking accomplished here.
