Pilots fired for overshooting runway
Mesa Air Group fired two pilots on its Hawaii inter-island carrier Go for overshooting a runway by 15 miles while trying to land on the state’s Big Island.
Which airline will be next to go?
Three airlines went out of business in one week and Champion Air will call in quits at the end of May. Experts believe most major airlines will survive.
Pilots may have fallen asleep
Two pilots flying at 21,000 feet from Honolulu to Hilo failed to respond to air traffic controllers 11 times as their plane overshot its destination by 15 miles, raising the possibility that the pilots were asleep.
