FAA Investigates Whether Go! Pilots Slept in Flight

February 18, 2008 09:26 PM

It was a go! Airlines flight 1002 from Honolulu to Hilo.

Two strange events on that flight prompted the FAA to open an investigation.

It started as a normal flight.

Go! Airlines flight 1002 took off from Honolulu on time at 9:25 a.m. last Wednesday on it's way to Hilo.

But as the plane neared Mauna Kea on the Big Island, at least one passenger on board noticed something was wrong.

"When I noticed we weren't descending I told my wife, she was sitting on the left, I mentioned to her I think something is kind of weird with this flight pattern," said passenger Derrick Lining.

Sources said air traffic controllers tried to contact the pilots for 25 minutes and got no response
