Turned off accidentally . . .

I call BS.

Just had to see what would happen . . . "IF".

Yeah.....

What can you say really......

What could possibly go wrong?

I used to co-pilot with an ol' fellow, client of my father's and owner of FBO, he used to take off in his Baron climb to 5500 and doze off, yup every trip, in IFR weather!! I watched very closly, but every time Center would call the tail numbers, he became alert, immediately responded as if watching everything all the time....never had to poke him or respond!!
He did forget the gear one night, years earlier...go figure!!
Cheers,

Had written a reply but did a little reading up on this. It sounds like it was an inappropriate incident that got the PT Barnum treatment.


The inside dope. F/o on toilet break. As per SOP one C/C called in but invited to take P2 seat. Shortly after second C/c walks in , incredibly offered the P1 seat. Capt standing and teaching them how to fly a A-321 at 33000 ft. F/O comes back from toilet and all resume normal duties. Insiders say the F/O reported the matter to Flight Safety on arrival at DEL. Capt Soni and the two c/c are under suspension.

Someone else called BS pointing out the pilots seats were way more comfortable for sleeping in than the business class seats were.
