That's what this report this morning is saying and that's a big big no no as you'll read in the story below.
However, the part that bothers me the most is the delay between the FAA notifying NORAD, which, had this plane been hijacked minutes after takeoff, right before the expected landing time or in between, would have been enough time to pull off another 911 event even this far along after the tragedy.
At issue is the Federal Aviation Administration's apparent delay in notifying NORAD the Northwest jet was not in contact with controllers, according to a senior U.S. official directly familiar with the timeline of the incident.
So after all this time and billions of dollars spent on this stuff, these guys go AWOL for 150 miles with a planeload full of people and yet the only ones with the power and command to shoot that thing down in an extreme case were the military and No Bama, yet no one knew Jack until after the fact thanks to the FAA delay..
That is what we should all be pissed off about if anything since there was no tragedy here thank goodness ...........THIS TIME
Report: Stray jet's pilots were on laptops - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- The pilots of the commercial jetliner that last week overshot its destination by about 150 miles have said they were using their laptops and lost track of time and location, federal safety officials said Monday.
The Airbus A320 was flying at 37,000 feet over the Denver, Colorado, area at 5:56 p.m. Wednesday when it last made radio contact, the safety board said.
Northwest Flight 188 had departed San Diego en route to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport carrying 144 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants. Northwest recently merged with Delta Air Lines.
'Using laptops or engaging in activity unrelated to the pilots' command of the aircraft during flight is strictly against the airline's flight deck policies and violations of that policy will result in termination,' Delta said Monday in a statement." continued
