How embarassing is this? Pilot and co-pilot have a heated debate in the cockpit and fly past their destination.

Methinks there will be a lot of ZZZZs when they examine the flight recorder and the auto pilot keeps sailing right along.

Debate -- yah, right.
Zzzzzzzz's much more likely.

It most certainly does happen.
Came close once myself --
9 members on the crew -- and I was the only one awake -- barely.
