Pilots all fell asleep on plane at same time.

Both pilots, the only 2 flying the plane…………… both pilots of a plane with 153 people on it fell asleep recently on an Indonesian flight.

Apparently one of them slept the first part of the flight. He woke up and the other pilot asked if he could take a nap while the 1st guy watched everything. Sure, yeah, go ahead. Then they both fell asleep. Meanwhile air traffic controllers were trying to reach them and getting no response for half an hour. Finally the primary pilot woke up, realized it was a bad situation, and told air traffic that there had been a problem with the radio, but it was all fixed now. Nobody bought it and now both pilots have been suspended.

After reading this, I watched several videos of people reviewing this airline. For one guy, the USB power plug in on the plane didn’t work. The TV in the seat was broke. The seat itself looked like a 20 year old office chair filled with cracks throughout the fake leather, and the sandwich had almost nothing as a filling. Otherwise, most people say it’s a middle of the road, decent airline with low prices. You could probably save even more if you offer to wake up the pilots on approach.
