#43: Working on Auto-Pilot

A lot of people feel uncomfortable on flights – even people who don’t suffer from flight anxiety – and that’s understandable. Being so high up in the air in a pressure cabin full of strangers feels very unnatural. This next fact won’t get you too excited for your next trip, and it might make you feel even more uncomfortable on your next flight.

Could this be true? We know that pilots don’t have a lot to do during a flight- it’s not like driving where drivers need to keep their eyes on the road and keep steering the wheel throughout the ride. And still, actually falling asleep mid-flight? That seems like a bit much. We sure hope this isn’t true!
