go! asleep airlines

[Tahunatics]

This is unbelievable! Both pilots fell asleep during a go! Airlines flight from Honolulu to Hilo last Wednesday. The tower couldn't reach them for 25 minutes and they overshot the island.

I wonder if Go Airlines will now drop B.E.T as their "Corporate Sound" after the lead singer just got busted with all that METH.

You gotta love this quote that was on Ian Linds Blog.

Reported from a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Hilo from Honolulu:

The captain made the normal announcement that the flight was passing Maui (at whatever altitude it was), then added, “I just wanted to let you know that we’re all wide awake up here.”

And you just gotta check out This Cartoon that ran in the Honolulu Weekly last week. []

The media just won't let this die a quiet death. Yesterday's local paper had a piece on the implications of this Go! airliner transgressing so much Hawaiian air space with no response from the local military.

The best quote is this: "If we don't get it now, what about next week when somebody does hijack a plane?" he said. "All that tells you is that Hawaii is wide-open for a terrorist attack."

While this isn't an amusing subject on a global scale, I have to take this concern for the east side of the Big Island as some just spouting off to make some news. After all, are there any real targets for terrorists in Puna[?]
