Title: Pilots 'asleep in cockpit' as passenger plane on auto
Post by: mhm on September 26, 2013, 02:50:18 PM
Two pilots were suffering from "severe fatigue" when they fell asleep mid-flight on a UK-operated passenger plane, it has been revealed.

Both nodded off at the same time, according to a Freedom of Information request by the Data News agency.

One said they had had only five hours' sleep over the previous two nights.

I wonder what airline this was.

Reported to have happened on an Airbus A330, so that's Ryanair off the hook  :P
