What if the radio really did mess up? 🤆The only way to really prove that is if they had a camera in the cockpit
I don’t care how boring a job is, if I was a pilot and knew the other pilot was asleep, I’d make sure to keep my ass awake. The ol “I’ll just rest my eyes†has ended in disaster way too many times to count.
When you do this you should always announce to everyone you're afk so people can understand you cant be bothered 🤷â€ÂÂ♂
That's what autopilot is for right? To allow the pilots to sleep…
Wow, just wow!
At first I thought it might be from carbon monoxide, but one was on a scheduled sleep break. It was the pilot flying’s responsibility to stay alert, he could have ordered a cup of coffee!
Which airline was this?
cameras in the cockpit?
Don’t worry, it was on auto pilot..
Flight attendants didn’t know??
Wow!! Thankful it turned out well. Geesh! Oh, then they try lying? Wth??

Lol I'm glad all this is happening. If Airlines had collectively invested in people like me they wouldn't have had overworked staff.
For the one that saying they shouldn’t fired the pilots your totally evil. Playing with 250 innocents lives
"Italian man falls asleep while flying aircraft" is a much more accurate, and less shocking way to describe this situation
Let’s face it..! They are water bottle vodka drunks..! I know for a fact do to someone that is a young pilot and has told me about similar situations..! In today’s world I just don’t fly do to all the world drama these days..!
What a nightmare it would be to be on that flight with the pilot out cold
The scary thing is this is not the first time an incident like this has happened before.
"Fighter Jets were ready to scramble "!!!
This should convince the skeptic that the same could have been done on 9/11, why do you suppose it didn't? Contact was lost for 10 minutes. Ten minutes. The order to scramble was eminent. 1,2,3,4 planes CANNOT BE HIGH JACKED IN ONE DAY. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and The General ( the entire Military Industrial Complex) can answer any further questions.
This is a eye opening perspective on companies over working their pilots
I grew up playing flight simulator and wanted to be a pilot when I grew up after speaking to many pilot before attempting to get my license I realized that their lives are terrible and I completely changed my mind
He could have just said he fell asleep and then he would have been placed on leave
Who care…basically, airplane can basically fly by itself with computer switch to autopilot. The only time you need a pilot is take off or landing.
Of course it was an Airbus
Vaccines make you sleepy and sloppy. Fun flight?
It wasn't "found 2 pilots asleep," it was "the captain was asleep."
🤡: "This can be a dangerous situation, especially if the two don't wake up in time."
Me: "Genius!🤣😂🤣"
It feels so good to sleep when you’re not supposed to !!!!
Republicans can't even have pilot positions now. Wtf 😒
If it was the Democrat who got canned expect to see him in court. lol
Republican who didn't fall asleep or democrat who did??
Overseas travels always have 4 pilots .
