So what happened to both pilots of NWA188?

-Both Northwest veterans pilots were using there personal laptops inside the cockpit, which isn't allowed by Northwest.

Story:

Two pilots of a Northwest Airlines flight Wednesday 21 October 2009, were apparently so distracted that they missed their airport and kept flying for 150 miles on their flight to Minneapolis from San Diego before landing the plane and its 147 passengers safely .

For one hour and 18 minutes, the pilots -- flying at 37,000 feet above sea level -- were radio silent with air traffic controllers, who at times tried to reach the cockpit.

The pilots of the Airbus A320 told the FBI and airport police that they were in a heated discussion over airline policy and they lost awareness of the situation.
