What would you recommend the punishment befitting the infractionfor using computers, which happens to be a direct violation of a company SOP?
But consider this...
I have jump seated a number of times and seen both CA and FO reading the latest best seller. Had those books been enthralling enough, those crews could have overflown their destination too.
But those crews did not overfly their destinations... did they.
What do you think the punishment should be, by both the FAA and Company, in this case, also, as SOPs, FARs, and trust has been violated?[/quote]
Also, I have flown with CAs who have read, listened to their Ipods, or other things not related to flying.

Do you bring such behaviour to the attention of the captains you fly with? If not why not? If so, what type of response do you receive?
For those of you who have ever done anything other than fly the plane, I suggest you have no room to condemn. The only difference between this crew and you is they got caught.
Did they, as you aver, really get caught? Or perhaps they were alerted to the fact that by a question as to where the heck are we? And at the end of the day... who, again, as you state, caught them?
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
For the record, I hold no rocks.
Bible thumping belongs in one's house of worship, don't you agree?
