Airline pilots may have slept past their stop in Hawaii
Hell, yes.
Does that mean that their CRM procedures tolerated one pilot asleep
on the job, or did they both fall asleep simultaneously?
Probably were both exhausted by a schedule that was marginally legal
but ill advised.
Perhaps, but it was 0900 local.
I would imagine it was not through choice... the company probably
stuck them with it and gave them the choice of fly or quit.
It happens all the time. Believe me, those two weren't the only ones
asleep at the wheel that day. They just got caught.
Well, thankfully ATC kept calling them before they got out of range.=
you have no idea what you're talking about.
