Two 'go!' airline pilots fell asleep while flying from Honolulu to Hilo, cruising past their destination for 18 minutes... Not a good location to catch up on zzz's. With fuel levels carefully measured for just the flight (plus legal reserves of 45 minutes), only a few minutes longer would have caused a forced ocean ditching.

Reminds me of the Delta/Western flights landing at the wrong airports, overshooting SFO all the way out the the Farallon Islands, and a few other mistakes.

I suppose falling asleep can be deemed technically accurate as "communications failure."
I marvel at modern technology, and the benefits it provides. I marvel more at the other similar events that we will never hear about, since the complex technology silently worked as intended.

A friend of the family is a retired commercial airlines pilot and he said one time on a flight, the crew dozed off simultaneously for about 15 minutes. When they awoke and realized their predicament, they declared a weather emergency and diverted to the nearest airport. No one ever found them out.

On the bright side, the passengers got a lot of extra frequent flyer miles.

The flight schedules of pilots prior to this flight is not known. Might want to check their bar schedules as well.

Too damn funny.
Usually when the pilots say “Lay back and relax and enjoy the flight” it’s for the passengers....
