    Bertazzo had completed another lesson earlier that day without incident

    Without… jumping to his death…? Sometimes this standard journalistic phrasing just kills me. I shouldn’t be laughing

      “He’s taught many lessons, and this is the first time this type of incident ever happened. Everyone was shocked, he’d never done that before.”

      During the flight, Bertazzo allegedly told Rosario, “You know what to do” before removing his headset, arranging his belongings, taking off his seatbelt and exiting the aircraft.

      … ‘exiting the aircraft’.

      Yeah that’s… accurate, but seems like perhaps an overly neutral verb to use.

      Yep, just stepping out for a bit, to get some air.

      Fuck me, this is an actual dark comedy skit, I can swear I’ve seen some skits from back in the day where more or less this is the plot.

      I guess all I can say is that I wish I could give Rosario a hug, what an awful thing to be forced into.

        I think it’s good they clarified, so we know he hasn’t made a habit of jumping out, just to be swept up and caught by all his other trainees
