On a flight from SEA to DEN. Onboard wifi is showing we are enroute to Western Africa......... if that is where we are headed, will be a record distance for a 737 MAX. Maybe a Malaysian Air 777 copycat Captain?

When I was taking aviation classes in college one of my professors mentioned a story of a guy years ago who I think was flying LA to NYC. Apparently it goes that he was asleep when the flight crew landed. Nobody woke him up, and from the story they took off with a full flight and landed in Miami. He was very surprised and upset that nobody woke him up.

Flight crew are prohibited by FAR from leaving an airplane with a passenger on it. Every single flight attendant must remain on the airplane until ALL passengers are off, so, either it was a very long time ago, or the story isn’t exactly true…

I was told it was quite a long time ago. I do know from my aviation history class many airlines in the early years didn't have true schedules and would book passengers on a 3x5 notecard.
