My old man was a flight engineer on 747's during the 70's and he told me that most of the time pilots check out to sleep soon after they get to cruising altitude and wake up a little before landing. Most airliners are so sophisticated that they fly themselves and all you need to do is take off and land them. I'm sure things have advanced even more now. So what the problem is???
