Pilots Complete Suspension

The two go! pilots that that fell asleep on the inter-island CRJ-200 hop last winter, completed their FAA-imposed suspensions on September 9. However, they have long since been fired by go! parent Mesa Air Group. The flight Honolulu-Hilo, flew beyond Hilo while ATC tried to raise them. Captain Scott Oltman and First Officer Dillon Shepley had twice the required rest before embarking on the flight last February. The FAA cited Oltman for careless and reckless operation of an aircraft and failing to maintain radio contact in its 60-day suspension order, according to the Pacific Business News. Shepley was suspended for 45 days for careless and reckless operation of an aircraft.
