Of course their tickets should be revoked. What I don’t get is how come they weren’t listening to ATC communications? Did they have their headsets off? I recall that if I didn’t respond to an ATC communication soon enough due to being busy with another cockpit task, they WOULD get my attention. Questions, questions.....

The likely story is they were sleeping. Laptops my eye!

I remember hearing that they were tuned to Denver Center enroute. Maybe they missed the call or forgot to change freqs to MSP approach.
