ANA Planes - autopilot but no snooze button

Image Completely unrelated photo to set the mood.

From AP via the SMH:
A Japanese airline pilot nodded off twice while at the controls of a domestic flight last month - in front of a transport official aboard for a routine inspection.

The 50-year-old All Nippon Airlines pilot has been grounded pending an internal probe ordered by industry regulators, company spokesman Kunio Shibata said today ...


That probe should wake him up :wink:

If you find your weight suddenly improves at any time during the flight, it might be time to wake Sleepy-san in the cockpit.

ANA's planes carry 7 crew - Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Bashful, Happy and Sneezy. The trick is assigning them to the right jobs. :lol:

Seriously, though, have fun in Japan Caustic.
