So, that's all right then.

I wonder if something wasn't lost in translation here...

If they're nodding off, they either need counseling on the private side, or need less hours. And more pay.

I hate what has happened to air travel. I really do.

We've turned aircraft into over the road coaches, and we're surprised when the companies running them hire barely qualified bus drivers.

Not saying that's the case here, so don't flame me out on this.

It just could be so much better, that's all.
