Soverytired,
While I fully agree with you that we don't have the facts yet, do you really mean that comment about "Big. Frikin. Deal."?
It was an unfortunate choice of words.
Perhaps a better way of saying it would be "No harm, no foul?"
If the FAA rules that they were asleep (which I still doubt), they will be reprimanded.
As for loved ones in the back: I already know that this happens far more often than anyone cares to admit. Not in Hawaii on the short hops, but on the red-eye camping trips state-side. I'm not happy about it at all, it IS a big deal, but ultimately, I have to judge this incident in isolation, and the end results are:
No one was hurt. Mesa was embarrassed in the eyes of the media and the flying public. It's not a big enough deal to spur any regulatory changes, and that's a g-danged shame.
