Well......if it happens, it happens for a reason. What would your solution be in this instance?
Normally cabin crew are required to contact the flight deck every 20 mins or so, in person or via the inter-phone, to check all is well.
I am wondering if something bad is happening to crew training now, as well as fatiguing rosters?
On quiet long-haul flights, if I wasn't reading something or doing the crossword, I would listen to Radio 4 on the ADF receiver, which helped keep me alert. Important to be doing something - in the absence of inputs a tired brain will tend to go to sleep.
