This news of the search being restarted is encouraging. Something I've pondered and have grown frustrated with for a while is why the Malaysian govt hasn't just paid OI per visit. Since it's a no find, no pay model, it's understandable that OI is treating this as a filler, side gig but the continued mental toll it takes on families has to be unimaginable.
I think the reason that Malaysia doesn't want to pay OI per visit is that they don't think it's worth it because they won't find the wreckage. I think that years ago the Australians told Malaysia that they had rock-solid analysis and were sure to find the wreckage on the seabed, and when that didn't happen the Malaysians assumed -- correctly, IMO -- that the analysis was faulty.
