Here is an update on a story posted last week about NASA's pilot safety issue reporting system. At a congressioinal hearing yesterday, it was revealed that three years ago, pilots on a Denver bound Airbus jet both fell asleep while at the controls. Read about that in a Denver TV report. More background on NASA's pilots study, and the space agency's initial refusal to make it public, can be found in an AP story here
