    Here's one for the books, Can't find the pilots

    My parents who are returning from Alaska tonight with a stop over in MSP just called me to tell me they are delayed because they can't find the pilots.

    What airline?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Update:

    The pilots where coming in on an inbound flight.

    The flight was delayed about an hour.

    The Airline was NorthWest.

    Yea I would be very surprised if both pilots just all of a sudden decided not to show up!

    How'd your parents like Alaska! I'm here in Anchorage until the 5th of August. Very long days, but beautiful!

    not a first... we have crew issues all the time, especially when we have wx delays. there was one crew that was supposed to be in LGA while they were still in KDAY. wonder who screwed up...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
