Happens all the time.
Both asleep, though, is a big problem. About ten years ago there was a (Delta?) flight to Vegas (?) with both pilots asleep. They flew past their destination and went on their merry way until a flight attendant check up on them.
- tasuki 3y ago> flew past their destination and went on their merry way until a flight attendant check up on them. That... doesn't seem like a great illustration of why both pilots asleep is a big problem :)
- thsksbd 3y agoThey overshot the airport by about 40 minutes, which means they had to fly an extra 30 minutes back. Every minute the flight attendant delays in waking up the pilot is doubled. That's not a huge deal in Vegas, but if you miss Honolulu that's a big problem.
