Question Were Mesa Airlines pilots asleep at the helm in Hawaii?

All over the news in Hawaii today, the FAA has opened an investigation of the crew of a Mesa Airlines / go! flight crew, believed to have possibly both fallen asleep on a 40 minute flight from Honolulu to Hilo at 9:00 in the morning, overflying the airport at FL210 while not responding to attempted ATC contact for 25 minutes. Apparently the flight attendant had to bang on the cockpit door to get their attention. Yet another call for the restructuring of US flight duty time regulations and a thorough investigation of Mesa's scheduling practices.
