My thought is that the pilots were distracted by pornography.
Or each other... Hey, stranger things have happened.....
My guess is that they were either both sound asleep, or perhaps they were playing video games and were wearing headphones to keep the noise down.
Porno, or whatever program they claim to be using, doesn't keep people from hearing radio calls.
The story makes it pretty clear they were using some form of an internet system on the laptop to access pilot flight records.
Frankly I want to know why it’s okay for the pilots to do that when the passengers are forbidden to do so because “it could interfere with the plane’s communications.”
It has been known for years all that is a bunch of crap.
I could use a GPS or surf the net in a plane and it will not impact the plane’s communication system at all....
It’s all one big lie.
hahahaha
