2 Pilots Fall Asleep at the controls!!!


www.dailymail.co.uk

Two pilots on an overnight flight fell asleep at the controls of an airline carrying 100 passengers, it emerged yesterday.


The pair were only woken - 20 minutes from landing - by frantic calls from an air traffic controller who noticed they were travelling too fast and too high.

Wow, just wow. Now I'm not a pilot, but shouldn't at least one of the pilots remain awake? This really bothers me. Ya,ya I know, auto pilot flies the plane anyways. That being said, auto pilot does fly the plane, but auto pilot does not make evasive manuvers in case of an emergency! Last time I checked pilots make a decent amount of money. You would think at least they would take turns.


Makes me want to run right out and jump on a plane!!
