Pilots Nap While A320 Drifts Off Course

The 32-year-old captain of a Batik Air A320 and his 28-year-old FO (and the new father of month-old twins) have been suspended after they both fell asleep and the aircraft drifted off course. The Airbus, with 159 people on board, took off from Kendari, on the island of Sulawesi, for the 2.55-hour flight to Jakarta on Jan. 25.
