The Federal Aviation Administration says it is investigating reports that two pilots fell asleep while they were flying a passenger jet last week over Hawaii.

Whoa... A LOCAL run? I can understand letting the autopilot deal with the ride from LAX, but from one island to another?

I grew up with military pilots, and I don't know how many times I heard one of them say he fell asleep while flying. Thank God for autopilot right? Ehh, most of them can't fly without a HUD anyways, so really what do they do up there?
