Wayward Pilots Have Their Licenses Revoked

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 29

Virgo

If something is weighing on your mind it will start to affect your health, Virgo. It might make you feel tired or depressed, or it could dominate your thoughts. You know what you should do about it, of course, but it seems like too much effort or you want to pretend that it doesn't exist. Unfortunately, this escapist attitude won't make the problem go away and might even make it more tricky by the time you finally decide to tackle it.
