Not an Airbus driver so I'm just asking out of curiosity, Boeings have the "Pilot Response" caution that turns into a warning with an aural if left unattended and it comes on after a while of no inputs from the pilots, do Airbus have something similar?



Kind of curious about the dispatchers flight tracking procedures and did the cabin attendants didn't find it odd that by their estimated time of arrival they were still at cruise??

Seems to me that there where a few more things at play here than just the pilots falling asleep and it certainly would be interesting to learn the details of this incident.
