What the hell is going on in commercial aviation? In the last couple of years we've heard about documented reports of controllers asleep in their towers, pilots asleep in their cockpits, drunk pilots flying, pilots overshooting intended destinations, pilots mistaking one airport for another, etc, etc.
But this episode is right out of the Monty Python skit "And Now For Something Completely Different". Seems an Air India flight crew mistook their flight attendants for pilots!! The flight attendants flew the plane while the flight crew napped in business class! Doubly qualifies for this year's Darwin Award and the What We're They Thinking Award.
