Sleeping on the job lands an airline worker in another state!

This takes sleeping on the job to a completely new level. Apparently a JetBlue worker decided to sleep on the job take a nap during his break, and chose the cargo hold as his resting place.

The poor guy didn't wake up until the flight was already in the air:

BOSTON — A JetBlue employee says he took a free flight from New York to Boston — after falling asleep in a plane's cargo bin.

The man was discovered by baggage handlers at Logan International Airport after the plane landed there Saturday. He told police he'd been accidentally locked inside the pressurized luggage compartment while taking a nap.

The 21-year-old man says he called JetBlue Airways officials when he realized he was no longer on the ground.

A state police spokesman says the man wasn't charged with any crime and was returned to New York when it was determined he wasn't dangerous.

Hopefully this guy has learned his lesson, because he could have been killed during this act of negligence. And of course you know if this had happened, the first thing his family would want to do is sue.

I believe that JetBlue should fire this employee for both sleeping on the job, and for his negligence in where he chose to sleep. Of course I'm sure he's not the only one doing this, but if for no other reason than employee safety and potential liability, they need to get rid of this guy.

What do you think? Should this employee be fired?
