FAA Revokes Pilot Licenses
Fresh stuff....
The Federal Aviation Administration has revoked the licenses of two Northwest Airlines pilots who overflew their destination airport on October 21, 2009 while operating Flight 188 from San Diego to Minneapolis. The pilots were out of contact with air traffic controllers for an extended period of time and told federal investigators that they were distracted by a conversation. Air traffic controllers and airline officials repeatedly tried to reach them through radio and data contact, without success. The emergency revocations cite violations of a number of Federal Aviation Regulations. Those include failing to comply with air traffic control instructions and clearances and operating carelessly and recklessly. The revocations are effective immediately. The pilots have 10 days to appeal the emergency revocations to the National Transportation Safety Board.

Ya mean you are supposed to be "flying the plane" and listening to the radio while up there? Damm, that would interfere with my computer gaming!

If they were asleep, they shoulda come clean and revealed their sched's over the last week, bet someone would have had a field day with how little rest it allowed.

A good autopilot will only get you in to trouble.

Surprising that they did not have some AF fighter jock looking at them after an hour of that.
This was pretty heinous

Here is what really happened!
~~~~~ Subject: From the hearings on the Northwest incident “We were flying along following SOP perfectly, then this alien spaceship docked with our airplane and the aliens just came through the skin of the airplane and took over total control our airplane while they examined every system in the plane, examined our bodies, copied all of our manuals, all the time we heard the controllers attempting to contact us 14 times then the aliens tried to inject us with a drug so we wouldn’t remember anything but we fought them off and fearing for their lives they transported themselves back through the skin of our airplane back into their spaceship then when they undocked from us it released their control over us then *we immediately contacted ATC but knew no one would believe us so we made up this story that we were deep in discussion over the new Delta procedures being forced on us and how difficult it is going to be to learn all those new procedures and comply with their stupid SOP, really, that is what happened, we weren’t sleeping, honest, cross my heart and hope to die, you can ask my mother, she will tell you I don’t lie.” *
