The FAA is taking a look at whether a couple of Go! Airlines pilots went sleepy-bye on a flight to Hilo. According to this AP report, the feds got a little suspicious when the plane overshot it’s runway by, oh, 15-miles or so. This wouldn’t be the first time pilots fell asleep on the job; it happened to a couple of Frontier pilots back in 2004. But those guys were on a pretty long flight, from Baltimore to Denver. Not our Go! guys. Keep reading… |
The pilots on the Go! airline were only flying from Honolulu to Hilo! A flight that takes less than an hour (or it does, if you remember to land when you’re supposed to).
And, in case you’re wondering, the Arizona Republic is reporting that there was apparently “no indication that the pilots had to avoid landing because of other aircraft or weather”.
So what were they thinking? “Say, Biff, this flight lasts 51 minutes. Plenty of time for a lil shut-eye.”
Dunno about you, but I find this…worrisome.
