I always have trouble sleeping on planes. Unless I drink a bunch of booze or throw back some pills (Thank you Mexico!) I will maybe get a half hour of sleep at a time. Pilots don't seem to have the same "trouble sleeping on flights" problem I have.
Two commercial pilots allegedly fell asleep on a flight between Baltimore and Denver, with one pilot waking up to "frantic" calls from air traffic controllers warning them they were approaching the airport at twice the speed allowed.So, yea. BOTH pilots were dead asleep until they randomly woke up to the air tower basically yelling at them "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU IDIOTS DOING!?!?!? SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING CRASH!"
"Last 45 mins of flt (flight) I fell asleep and so did the FO (first officer)," according to the narrative in the report.45 minutes of the flight! I don't know if I have ever fallen asleep for 45 minutes in a row of ANY flight I have been on. And I didn't happen to be FLYING THE PLANE at the time! This seems like one of those stories where the Joker or Penguin snuck into the cabin and started gassing everyone with his super secret ball point pen filled with poison gas. If I was ever in a plane crash, I would definitely be happy with the reason for the crash being "Pilots fell asleep."
