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.

IF they tried to cover something up, they are dead meat. They sequestered those FA's right away. The only way out of any goof up is full disclosure.

How about a good book? It is a way to stay awake in cruise.
Better than sitting there and hitting your head on the glareshield.

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.

Who is to say that SELCAL Or ACARS did not wake them up.
Never said anything about the FOM being a good book.....
