Rule Number One of Flying: Always make certain that the pilots of your airplane are awake

Studies show that airline flying is more fun when your airplane pilots are awake. "An Air India flight headed for Mumbai overshot its destination and was halfway to Goa before its dozing airline pilots were woken out of a deep slumber by air traffic control, a report said. The high altitude nap took place approximately two weeks ago, the Times of India reported today".



"Some 100 passengers were on board the state-run airline flight that originated from Dubai and flew to the western Indian city of Jaipur before heading south to Mumbai when both airline pilots fell asleep, a source told the paper. "After operating an overnight flight, fatigue levels peak - and so the pilots dozed off after taking off from Jaipur," the source, who was not identified in the report, said".
