It's good they had an autopilot and didn't end up in a large bath.

Guess You Could Look At It THat Way....Real Good thing that the passengers woke them up.

You get what you pay for. The CA was known within Mesa as a "sleeper" and was quite the jerk. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

With luck, it will help put Mesa's other foot in the coffin...or at least to send the rest of the fleet over to China. Let them deal with Ornstein and his crappy ethics.

Without Mesa (go!) fares will just jump way up again.scott s..

So you Knew The Guy?

[Guest CRJ700FO]

>So you Knew The Guy?No simply heard from some Mesa friends who do know him. He was a BNA based CA who TDY'd out to Hawaii. He was well known as someone who "slept" on the job. It could be worse I guess, he could be using company computers to look for porn......

Seems kind of strange both pilots would be asleep, I wonder if something else was going on, like maybe an Oxygen problem in the cockpit. Didn't that happen to a Greek airliner awhile back?

Didn't that happen to a Greek airliner awhile>back?they were asleep. there was no problems with the pressurization system. mesa management has sent out internal emails already defending the rest times the CA and FO had and how much duty time they have averaged in the last couple of weeks. they didn't do this out of the kindness of their hearts....
