They don't have to worry about the new schedules from the merger with Delta anymore.

So now what? Do they get their full retirement?

They should install little flashing buzzer. If pilots don't respond or wake up, air traffic control can buzz them like an alarm clock.

If that doesn't work, put a zap collar on them....

Somehow I doubt that they were using their computers. Odds are they were sleeping or doing something there were not supposed to be doing in the cockpit...

That is.... Unless they were on Topix.

I pooped in the bathroom sink of an airbus and then I climbed up on the toilet and pissed on the ass gaskets. It smelled so bad they put the out of order sign on it.

Some of the news stories mention that cockpits do have buzzers and lights that air traffic controllers can set off when they lose radio communication with pilots.

This is why the "heated discussion" and "working on our laptops" excuse crashed and burned by this, the next day...the buzzers and lights would have gotten their attention if they were anything but in a deep sleep.

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Scorpio

If you haven't seen certain people during the past few days, how about inviting them over for a drink or a meal? You're feeling sociable and will enjoy doing some light entertaining although you'll draw the line at anything too strenuous. It's a lovely day for being in familiar surroundings with some familiar faces, even if all you do is flop on the sofa.
