" The first great news. The National Transportation Safety Board has just released information from the flight reporters of northwest flight 188. That's the flight -- radio silent for about an hour last week. The miss and miss the airport by 150 miles the back story it took off from San Diego on Wednesday pilots say they lost track of time. While cruising at 37000 feet they also last radio contact somehow. And accidentally flew 150 miles past Minneapolis. And as the story goes once they realized their mistake the pilot turned around Atlanta safety safely there 149 people on board nobody hurt. Now the NTSB says the pilots were not tire. That they became distracted. Because they were chatting with a flight attendant in the cockpit. And working on their laptops now somebody else -- The cockpit report -- quarters only thirty minutes long and it started when the plane was landing. So there's no reportable business. Steve Brown collective heads -- eyebrow raised around here what. What what what what."

" Apparently there was an interview yesterday and a follow up interviews scheduled for tomorrow of these two pilots the collective amount of time that the two pilots were questioned yesterday was five hours according the National Transportation Safety Board. What they say is in mid flight both pilots got out their laptops the purpose of wage. According to both of these pilots was to go over new scheduling. Arrangements and procedures for the new merge northwest Delta Air Lines apparently there was a lot of conversation going on. At some point there was a knock at the door and knock at the door was a stop flight attendant asking -- what's our ETA wonder we landed. When the pilots looked up from their laptops according to the state from the NTSB. They noticed they have already overshot. MSP or Minneapolis Saint Paul airport it wasn't until their overall Claire Wisconsin. That they finally got the big bird turned around and then later landed."

" And investigators are interviewing the flight attendants as well it sounds like one might have been up in there and another was trying to get up in there and no answer."

" Well apparently there were -- this is a point of extreme interest among folks it that northwest -- northwest delta and if you well airlines because the merger of these companies in this the first time that this apparently have been rolled out this mixed crew scheduling procedure that they were going over and apparently there was a rather lengthy discussion about. The merits of this or how was that it worked and apparently the first officer had a lot more information about this and he was sharing it with his colleagues in the cockpit. Now we're expecting to hear something official at some point -- right. We are expected to hear. Something a little bit more next week in here is why. First officer. Richard Cole is actually expected to. Come for you yet talked with some local reporters over the weekend and he said that he would talk later on he couldn't talk right now here's a portion of what it is. That he said."

" We -- we -- hurt nobody had a other than that it can't tell you think. And I appreciated because the stuff we could fit every more than have to tell you everything. Next week."

" What he did not disclose to the reporter was that they have laptops apparently there was an ongoing work discussion going on in the cockpit while they were 37000 feet off the ground."

" And somehow the recording is not there and somehow flight attendant knocked on the door but couldn't get in and there's more alarm. And a there is a great deal more -- Steve Brown in Chicago and it's not as -- we are but it's nice to see you know."
