Attention Passengers: Your Pilot Is Too Tired To Safely Fly Your Plane

BA Flight from New Delhi to London Delayed 12 Hours

You wouldn't have wanted to be one of the 225 passengers in New Delhi heading to London who were told Sunday that their British Airways flight was delayed because the pilot was too tired to fly the plane safety.

With no immediate alternative flight, passengers were forced to wait nearly 12 hours at the airport, reported UPI.

The captain, said the Press Trust of India, felt too incapacitated to fly and grounded Flight BA 143. His reason? A disturbance at his hotel that caused him to lose sleep.

A British Airways representative confirmed the report in regard to the plane's entire crew, adding that the pilot was following company regulations.

"The crew hadn't had enough rest," the airline's representative said. "The safety regulations of British Airways doesn't allow them to operate in such conditions.

"The entire crew had a disturbed night."

We imagine that the 225 passengers had a disturbed wait at New Delhi's international airport while waiting for the captain and crew to catch up on their "Z-z-z-z-s"
