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

"

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

Left his Garmin at home... and wouldn't stop to ask for directions

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.

What happened to the Auto Pilot?
Anyway, that is a serious mistake... Not good!

The pilot was distracted, talking on his cell phone.

At least he wasn't texting.

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

I think they were smoking a joint.
