SLEEPING AIRLINE PILOTS
Commercial passenger airline pilots are legally allowed by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to sleep up to 45 minutes DURING
a flight! Well, what happens if the backup pilots "nod off" too?
Has there ever been a crash due to this policy? Would the flying
public ever even know about it if there had been a crash?
