Yea, I saw it, the other guy was flying and this poor guy caught a few Z's. And they act like its the end of the world. Sun and warmth could happen to anybody. Hell ask any pilot who flies single pilot! I flown enough in the last 28 years not to get my butt in a knot over this stuff. If I was the DO, I would have a little talk then we go fly and that would be the end of it. And no I would not fire the guy. Thats the problem nobody sticks up for anybody anymore. And for the guy with the Camera, I tell him get a life and what the hell was he doing runninge electronics during flight? And If I was the FAA I would tell him that the rest he go during the fight dose not count towards his rest time per the FAR's. Other than don't do it again that would be it. This is a non issue. The Airline the Feds and the press all know it. But we live in the age of the the News 24 and 7. So he gets his career aborted before it even starts.
