Recently when those two air pilots missed their destination by 150 miles, because they weren't paying attention, I think alarms went off finally. How many times does this actually happen in the course of a normal flight? How long can these pilots focus on the job at hand? How many times are they preoccupied with whatever?

I see this as no different than drinking and driving, texting and driving, talking oh the phone, smoking, and just being wacked out thinking about something else. Heck these are people that are under the influence of some drug, alcohol, sleep, or gadgets. What about those that are under the influence of daydreaming and A.D.D.?

At all times, at any time people are doing these things. They say that life is too short, yeah well maybe it is. The bigger issue to me is, life is too much in the hands of other people who don't know what the hell they are doing. In the blink of an eye you could have a pilot playing solitaire; a bus driver texting his woman; a teenager driving with his head buried in a song.

It's dangerous out there. What are you gonna do?
