The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday revoked the license of Capt. Timothy Cheney and his copilot after their plane recently overshot its Minneapolis destination by 150 miles.
The FAA concluded the pair acted recklessly after reviewing the following "tweets" Cheney posted before the plane took off from San Diego and while it was in the air:
--Flyboy09
On runway. Preparing for another takeoff. Borrring.
--Flyboy09
Turned on the ignition. This sucker is ready to roll.
--Flyboy09
Airborne -- finally! Autopilot on, shoes off. Time to relax a bit.
--Flyboy09
Man, the Times crossword puzzle sure is difficult today.
--Flyboy09
DO NOT like the new Facebook format AT ALL. Why did they mess with success?
--Flyboy09
These Salsa-flavored Sun Chips are pretty good. Ever have them?
--Flyboy09
Too much squawking coming from Air Traffic Control. Giving me a headache.
--Flyboy09
Switching frequencies. Goodbye, chatterboxes!
--Flyboy09
Found a nice contemporary hits radio station to listen to for duration of the flight.
--Flyboy09
Those Black Eyed Peas really are something, aren't they? "I gotta feeling ..."
--Flyboy09
Killed bag of Sun Chips, but have revised my opinion. They would be better with dip.
--Flyboy09
Still better than the stale pretzels we give to the passengers.
--Flyboy09
Amazing how crowded your e-mail inbox can get in just a few hours. I have to monitor it more frequently while flying.
--Flyboy09
Sure seems like we've been in the air for a long time.
--Flyboy09
Just got promoted to Level 81 in Mafia Wars! Go me!
--Flyboy09
Had to look under my seat when I dropped my Nintendo DS stylus. Disgusting down there. Sun Chips and toenail clippings.
--Flyboy09
Note to self: Buy a Dirt Devil for in-flight use.
--Flyboy09
Holy Moses! Just realized we overshot Minneapolis a tad.
--Flyboy09
Just turned plane around. Hope to knock off a chapter or two of Glenn Beck's new book before landing.
