Pilots Grounded

From Yahoo News:
"FAA revokes licenses of wayward Northwest pilots"

I think this is a very good punishment. It shows all pilots and flight crew that if they do not pay attention to their jobs and put the lives of passengers in danger then they will not simply be "slapped on the wrist." The pilots were only paid to fly the plane and make sure the passengers are safe and these men did none of that. How come passengers can't use their laptops during the flight, but the crew is? I hope other pilots and flight crew get very scared from this punishment and think twice before they do something similar and put people's lives in danger.
