Last time I fell asleep in a vehicle I got to my destination a lot faster actually, and got a ride, and it had sirens!

Update on the story - CNN reports that the FAA pulled their licenses.  No details of course, so it's hard to tell what exactly got revoked.  But I bet they're done flying heavy passenger commercial...

Remember the movie Airplane?


Maybe they were working on the autopilot...

I read something a few years ago that said ONE hour of flight time is equal to THREE hours of driving time..
