Are u kidding me? The picture of this guy it looks like he is in his 30's? Not sure.
He uses the excuse he didn't get a lunch break after working 7 hours. LOL!
I'm in my late 50's and some days work 13 to 15 hours and only break I take is to go to the bathroom and your sorry ass years younger then me needs a nap?
WOW!
Then you get on TV for being another example of a lazy American!

SEATTLE - For the first time, a Sea-Tac Airport baggage handler who fell asleep in a cargo hold and forced a passenger plane to turn around is talking about the terrifying take-off.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News that aired Wednesday evening, Willa Junior says he woke up in the dark with jetliner's engines roaring in his ears as it took off from Sea-Tac.
He now says he's sorry he caused some passengers to panic when the flight had to turn around. He says he panicked himself when the plane got back on the ground and he saw the police, the helicopters - and his boss.
"I kind of thought I was going to go to jail or something," he says.
Confused first-class passengers shot cellphone video as they listened to Junior banging and screaming underneath them.
He explains that he didn't get a lunch break that day and dozed off seven hours into his shift.
"I get tired working too much," he says. "Like, we didn't take lunch after seven hours of working."
Junior didn't wake up until a bag fell on top of him.
"It was nothing but pitch black and a loud noise," he says.
He tried to find a way out.
"I crawled over the bags to see if the door was still open but it wasn't. It was closed. The nets were all locked up. I had to think fast like - how am I gonna get out of here?"
He then made a frantic 44-second 911 call on his cellphone.
"I'm in a plane and it feels like it's moving in the air. Flight 448. Can you please tell someone to stop it?" a frantic Junior told the dispatcher in the call, which eventually went dead.
He also banged on the ceiling of the cargo hold and was eventually heard by pilots and first-class passengers on the Los Angeles-bound flight.
The pilots quickly returned to Sea-Tac. The plane was in the air just 14 minutes.
Junior went right back to work the next day. He's contracted though a ramp company at the airport. He says he expects to be fired any day now.
Alaska Airlines says he is permanently banned from working on any of their flights because he clearly violated their safety policies.
Junior says he has learned his lesson - don't doze off on a plane, even if the job gets hard.
