Jet pilots sleep on duty twice
Pilots of jet planes have fallen asleep on duty in or over London twice in three years.
A Freedom of Information request to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) revealed pilots dozed off in the cockpit in both June 2010 and June 2011.
And the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) claims the number of incidents is far higher, happening on a daily basis nationwide.
The CAA insists pilot fatigue is not a safety concern.
