A senior pilot caught sleeping during mid-flight ended up his 20 years experience into a nightmare as she received adequate punishment towards his behavior while on duty.
The pilot was in the China Airlines 747, but without his knowledge his co-pilot recorded the whole thing inside the cockpit.
The embarrassing video shows the highly experienced pilot snoozing and his head down as he sits the main seat of the cockpit.
He is reportedly the airline's most senior Boeng 747 pilot and said to be an instructor in charge of simulations at the China Airlines Flight Training Center.

He faces accusations including ignoring flight safety procedures, China Airlines statement said. The video surfaced just days after China Airlines pilots ended an unprecedented seven-day strike over issues such as pilot fatigue and long working hours.
The two pilots have been reprimanded for their actions. It is unknown whether the two would face dismissal over the incident.
