The NTSB stated that it interviewed both the first officer and the captain of the Airbus A320 aircraft separately in Minnesota on Sunday.
Both pilots reportedly told the NTSB that they were not fatigued, both having had a 19-hour layover in San Diego prior to the incident, and said that neither fell asleep or dozed during the flight. The pilots also stated that they did not have a heated argument.
According to the NTSB, the pilots reported that there was a distraction in the cockpit and there was a concentrated period of discussion, during which they did not monitor the aircraft or calls from the ATC although they heard conversation on the radio.
The pilots told the NTSB that they lost track of time during the flight and had been discussing the new monthly crew flight scheduling system which is in place following the merger of Northwest Airlines with Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL). Both pilots used their laptops while discussing the airline crew flight scheduling procedure.
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) stated that it has suspended the pilots who were in command of Northwest flight 188 on 21 October until the investigations into the incident have been completed. The carrier also said that the use of laptops is against its flight deck policies and that violations of that policy will result in termination.
