Well... two guys from one side of the world flying on the other side of the world struggle to stay awake whIle sitting idle for hours while listening other aircraft and ATC talk in a foreign language and per the FAA not being allowed to do anything but study their manuals or stare forward.
... they are forgiven.

They speak English is Europe, albeit with many strong accents, as you cross over lots of countries in a relatively short time.

This is the third time today I've seen that story, but it's always from the same source. Are there any other reports of this alleged incident?

Has this "company material only" always been the law of the land? I've never understood why being distracted by vol 1 is any better than being distracted by an interesting magazine, although the latter would do more to keep one awake.

It seems extremely speculative and makes a lot of assumptions. It almost makes CNN, FOX News and the rest of them appear to be un-bias and fact based.

The source is an Australian blog site. They seem to accept articles without an author's name attached.
