Awww hell naw!!!

This is terribly strange. What happened to the air hostesses? Didn't anyone realize what was happening before it happened?

It’s a short flight - only two hours. For both of them to doze off seems more suspect, like there might have been a carbon monoxide leak or something similar.

So when I offered to take over for my pilot on the way to Mexico maybe I wasn't too far off. Let me hurry up and get my PPL and a plane.

All I could think about was poison.

I thought about that too, but both of them at the same dang time? Did someone slip them something? This story reads like a Stephen King novel..

I'm glad I came in late because I suspect that if I posted my first thoughts it was going to be some smoke in the city. They was in the cockpit fighting.

Or they are being forced to work more hours than normal/expected for pilots.

I never cease to be amazed at the corners that are cut in high-risk specialties/fields just to save money. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this were the case.

They feel they deserve better contracts and want airlines to fix operational issues.
