The napping pilots flew 359 miles past the airport and were still at cruising altitude when nervous air traffic controllers woke them up. The airline denies it occurred, arguing they "checked their records"....well, that settles it.

If both pilots overslept, obviously the airline needs to adjust their work schedules. Imagine the picture in your mind--two pilots snuggled down in their separate seats snoozing away!
Perhaps the airline needs to stop denying the situation and do something about the rest policy for pilots. I wonder what is going to happen to the pilots?
