Question

During the program the 'captain' was shown falling asleep before take-off. He remained fast asleep during the take-off and the subsequent emergency, with lights flashing and bells ringing. He was eventually woken by the first officer tapping him on the shoulder. However when interviewed a short while later he seemed quite lucid in his views about the evils of alcohol.Were these guy for real? Can a guy in his twenties with 2500 hours be a 727 captain in the US? Was it a set-up? Answers from our US cousins would be appreciated.
