What Happens On the Flight Deck...
...Stays on the Flight Deck.
No names, no pack drill. But really.
An airline can preach Air Safety, Crew Resource Management and professionalism until the cows come home. But what operation allows two of its operating Pilots to sleep their way across Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia - failing to answer radio calls for almost two hours? *
They apparently got a shock when the Slovakians sent up two fighters to investigate.
Lucky the passengers didn't find out ... and lucky that they eventually woke up.

I'd LIKE to say this surprises me.
Alas it doesn't really.
Been a dispatcher too many years, seen too many weird, unbelievable behaviours from pilots, airlines, dispatchers and others to be really surprised.
