Pilots Fell Asleep on Ethiopian Airlines Flight to Addis Ababa

LOL... Like that has never happened before... Reminds me of Northwest Airlines a number of years ago when the pilots overflew their destination for 2 hours not responding to ATC all because they had their laptops out working discussing pay.

Just like US pilots that have done the same thing then linbb.

so what is the solution to this incident? less comfortable pilot seats, occasional rock music set to blare in cockpit?, or how about the true, obvious solution: proper crew rest that errs on the side more rest than less rest. THere could be a system implimented that every few minutes makes a alarm clock noise that must be turned off and can not be stopped from making that noise. Pilots would find it an irritant and they would be awake to have that irritating feeling. I know of a LLoyd Air Bolivia flight coming into Miami once that the stews entered the cockpit , noticing that an overdue descent had not happened as of yet, and found three snoozing pilots. Pilots were better rested to perform descent and landing in this case. Miami ATC in this case and all others did not perform wake up services.

ROFL like none of us have never dozed off

He was counting cloud-sheep and fell asleep

I heard of a papermill where the operators seats where one leg stools!!!

Terrible!
