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

And a US-based crew overshot Hawaii some time ago.
Woke up from their nap 10 minutes past the big island.

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

LOL!
So do you still refer to New York as New Amsterdam?

Why do I have a mental image of the pilot mumbling something about birdie num-nums?

Are they the same pilots that flew Hawaiian Ail that overshot the runway in Hawaii??

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. Did they get fired?

What happened to Bombay? This was a commercial airliner, silly.

Well, I call that territory betweeen Tejas and Arizona “New New Spain.”

“overshooting SFO all the way out the the Farallon Islands,”
I can imagine both pilots waking up, “MY GOD, the big one hit and everything has sunk into the Pacific!”
