Corporate piltos do the same thing when the bosses in the back are drunk.


So do commercial airline pilots, or they did a couple decades ago.

My dad was on a redeye to Germany, and trying to get some paperwork done,
and started getting sleepy. He had some very sensitive air pressure
measuring equipment, used in his line of work, and found they had raised the
cabin altitude, quite a bit. He told a stew to tell the captain to turn the
pressure back up; long to short, she said he didn't, he insisted, and
strangely enough, the pressure went back to normal.
