So are we looking at potentially someone stole a frikkin 777? If this ends up being the case, it would be impossible to put the thing into any kind of service with all the serial numbers, etc. The second this thing went in for any maintenance whatsoever, it would be found out.
However, if this plane was in fact 'stolen' and the thieves would be callous enough to dispose of 200+ people to obtain it, what would the end game of having a Intercontinental Wide Body in your possession truly be? My guess it would be a one use scenario.
