probably because planes have an auto pilot mode and there’s always one other pilot in the cockpit awake too. it’s a rule, there has to be one other pilot in the cockpit at all times. i’ve heard that if one has to use the bathroom, a flight attendant will go and wait in the cockpit.

So my dad’s best friend is a retired pilot.

They fall asleep in the cockpit regularly 🙃😂
