Northwest Airlines Pilots Deny Napping During Flight

National Transportation Safety Board investigators interviewed the pilots and crew of Northwest Airline flight 188, questioning the pilots in-flight activities which caused the flight to fly 150 miles past its intended airport

NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said investigators questioned the pilots today in Minneapolis. No details were released and Holloway told reporters the NTSB would not comment on the discussions until Monday, at the earliest.

The flight drew criticism and concern from industry analysts, consumers and airline employees. The pilots of the Minneapolis-bound flight said they were in a 'heated discussion' and didn't notice that air traffic controllers were trying to contact the flight, which had overshot its destination by 150 miles.
