Red face * Pilot falls asleep in mid-air - twice

Tokyo - A Japanese airline pilot nodded off twice while at the controls of a domestic flight last month - in front of a transport official who happened to be on board for a routine inspection.

The 50-year-old All Nippon Airlines pilot has been grounded pending an internal probe ordered by industry regulators, company spokesperson Kunio Shibata said on Friday.
