Of course the latest excuse is ... "We were busy playing WOW on our laptops while flying ..."
 
Just heard on the evening news,.....both pilots are gonna' get poop canned by NWA. Good luck if they can ever get a commercial flying gig again.....
 
Considering the fact that the FAA has now yanked both of these guys tickets I'd say that's a given :icon_lol:
 
Wierd how they are keeping it quiet..

I saw the 'quick' door interview of one pilot.. 'Nope.. no arguments. nothing was wrong.. sorry... '

A bit wierd..


Maybe it was a huge UFO!!!!!!!! "help, we're trapped in the belly hanger of a gigantic.. erm.. Stardestroyer.. yeah.. and.. and.. this guy in a black helmet says.. you need to stay here for a while... yeah... "
 
Could it be that they were a little "distracted" by the female flight attendant that reminded them they were off course?
