My first thought was "The pilot was obviously male..."

But seriously, overflying an airport by 150 miles? WTF is up with that?

Wasn't able to get in the exit lane in time and had to take the next exit.

The initial claim was the cockpit was asleep. They say they were arguing over company protocol. I think they were earning their wings.

The pilot was distracted, talking on his cell phone.

So they said they were having a heated discussion about airline policies?

I think they were smoking a joint.
