Default Airliner crew flies 150 miles past airport

Been a busy day today.

Wonder what a heated airline policy discussion looks like that could
end up missing calls from ATC and spend 150 miles off course...?

Perhaps they were really just busy texting....


I have a hard time texting over 13k feet.
they fell asleep. Im surprised this doesnt happen more often with small
aircraft. You engage that auto-pilot and its just so relaxing. Turn on the
xm tilt your head back and life is good, no one to bother you ask you for
things no you know what your daughter did or can you fix this or that. Nope,
just smooth flying across a beautiful country.
