The NWA pilots that overshot the airport recently claimed that they were engrossed with figuring out the new scheduling software being implemented by their new parent Delta Airlines.
The First Officer stated he was trying to help the Captain figure out how to use the new software program. Holy hell, please tell me a Captain with an extensive career as a pilot – managing a cockpit of a huge airliner – is not confused by the shiny pretty letters on his laptop.

I was confused last week when I saw the flight attendant bringing food in to the pilot on our 3 hour flight. I was thinking, there is room in the cockpit of this MD-80 for a lunch tray? Where will they put it? Why are they eating when they should be flying, its only 3 hours, can’t they eat an energy bar or something? Then I see that these two ying yangs are playing on their laptops – I was truly waiting to hear that they had been Facebook’ing. Which is worse, being drunk or being on Mafia Wars?
