Pilots snoozed at 30,000 feet in cockpit of 300-passenger plane

BTW the FAA rejected the NTSB recommendation of setting napping policy, because it was un-American to sleep on the job.

Unless you are a member of Congress or a Defense Attorney on a capital case.......

Great post yip-

That's the line:

"The danger is not in missing something bc of controlled naps, but in uncontrolled naps"
That is it in a nutshell-

That said- in a previous life a chief came in and told us to do what we got to do and outlined what I wrote above- Feds were on board and realized that the only reason the procedure isn't publicly in the book is for PR reasons-

I'd say its also unamerican not to make sure the pilot can be hanged for whatever happens--- esp w/ rest
