I'm going to be riding on this SAN-MSP flight in a few weeks. What eventually happened to the crew of the Mesa CRJ that fell asleep in Hawaii? We've definitely had people get dead out here on the left coast when they fell asleep and went out over the ocean.... Waking up when the motors ran out of gas.

Sounds like the crew of the ATL taxiway landing is covering for their buddy who was either in the jumpseat (unlikely) and watched/let it happen, or was supposed to be there, and now had a convenient reason why he wasn't.
