When I read this headline in the news, I thought, “Air India?” and I was woefully right.
From Mumbai Mirror:
The scariest part is:   the only reason they were caught is because one of the flight attendants (the article uses the outdated “stewardesses”) hit the auto-pilot button and turned off the auto-pilot. The pilot *did* give her a two minute explanation of how to fly the plane, so I’m sure she was fine. Really.
The thing that disturbs me about this is that the discovery happened because the auto-pilot shut off. How many times was this occurring beforehand?! And what the heck did the pilots eat that deserved a 40-minute loo break? (The fish?)
Except it wasn’t really a loo break. They were napping in business class. Which leads me to also question, why wasn’t anyone in business class disturbed that the two pilots were sleeping there?
There were 166 people on board when this incident occurred. And the plane was a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.
Not exactly a super long flight… wow, Air India… still dominating. I expected former Soviet bloc.
I felt bad assuming that it was Air India while I was waiting for the article to load and let out a deep sigh when I was right.
Surely you must be joking.
She’s not joking and don’t call her Shirley.
Amazing that they were suspended and not dismissed.
I KNOW!
