Pilot of the passenger plane has overslept landing

American airline Go! airlines has dismissed one of the pilots and his assistant after careless employees have fallen asleep during short-term flight between Hawaiian islands, having flown by the airport on 24 kilometers. During 30-minute flight from the airport in Honolulu on island Oahu in a Sickly on the Big island, made by passenger plane of company Go! airlines from Arizona, offering tickets for a reduced price, even a half 40 passengers had no time to fall asleep. However, the main pilot and his assistant have decided to take a nap, having put the plane on the autopilot at height of 6,3 thousand meters above Pacific Ocean.
At that time, when the plane should lower speed, air movement controllers have noticed, that the machine flies were at the same speed after what they have started to call to the pilot cabin. Eleven attempts of employees of control service to phone to sleeping pilots have appeared unsuccessful, and only on 32-nd minute of flight it was possible to contact the pilot’s assistant, who, on the question about any emergency, has answered that everything was OK.
Some minutes later the plane has landed at the airport. Incident has got in sight of Federal management of aircraft of the USA, which has asked Go! airlines to tell about the details of accident. Representatives of airline refuse from comments.
