Oh Nah: Pilot Caught Sleeping In The Cockpit While Flying Plane [Video]
One China Airlines aeronaut just gave a whole new meaning to to the term “autopilot”. Weng Jiaqi, a senior officer for China Airlines, was caught by his co-pilot sleeping in the cockpit while the airplane was mid flight. Ironically, the perturbing footage surfaced just days after China Airlines pilots ended a seven-day strike over issues such as pilot fatigue and long working hours.
Jiaqi was facing charges for ignoring flight safety procedures, however, the airline said that the 20-year vet “received adequate punishment.” A spokesperson for the airline tole EBC News,

The co-pilot who recorded Weng is also being penalized for not waking him up. What would you do if you caught your pilot slippin’.
