AboutThe flight, belonging to Go! airlines, was on a 214 mile route between Honolulu and Hilo airport in Hawaii, on February 13, 2008. The airplane, which was flying at 21,000 feet, was contacted by the air traffic controllers, and got no response from it, despite several attempts at making contact. Contact was finally made when the airplane already had flown 15 miles past the airport. It finally landed 15 minutes later.
The preliminary report that was just released by the National Transportation Safety Board concludes that apparently the two pilots fell asleep. No problems were found with the carbon monoxide in the plane or the pressurization system.
On that flight, there were 40 passengers and 3 crew members. The two pilots are currently suspended and flight logs show that they finished their shift on February 12 at 2:47 PM and returned to duty at 5:40 AM on February 13.

thats why God invented energy drinks guys. get on your game
I think the FAA will be investigating the airline more than the pilots on this one. The required rest period between shifts was not observed. I have heard stories of the Parent Company has had pilots fly without the required minimum rest time.
eric, Amen.
The airline certainly has some unethical labor practices, but the responsibility probably falls on the pilots. The law is clear about how many hours you may fly in a given time period. Sounds like that law was broken (but it’s not certain from the article). As a pilot it’s your responsibility to understand and follow the law, even when it conflicts with your job.
Sooooooo, that’s how flights get late?
When you fly on GO AIRLINES you just go and go and go

I feel like I’m often looking for interesting things to read about a variety of topics, but I manage to include your blog among my reads every day because you have honest entries that I look forward to. Here’s hoping there’s a lot more great material coming!
This post is much more than one could have expected!
Good ¡V I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related information ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, web site theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Nice task..
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
