-the pilot received a 1 year jail sentence
-While on the ground he pushed a button "no qualified pilot" would have pushed. No explanation of what button it was.
-He had been with BA's Regional CityFlyer for one year flying the EMB-190.

It doesn't matter how tempting or attractive it may be, the "WING OFF" button is there as place holder only, is is intended to be purely decorative, just like the adjacent CHEMTRAIL ON switch. It is not mean to be pressed, or pushed, and if Butfoy hadn't falsified his experience, he'd have known that. The detent beyond WARP, labeled LUDICROUS SPEED is likewise not something a pilot normally uses, as any experienced pilot is aware of the hazards of going plaid.
Where I'm from, we test to see if the pilot really has the experience he claims by seeing which breakfast he choses. If it's the eggs, we know he's faking it .
Maybe Butfoy tried the eggs.

So probably turned off ground power without the APU running? But I've known a couple of fully-qualified and experienced pilots who have done that. There has to be more to it than that.

I've seen half a dozen or so times when someone deselected external power inadvertently, putting the airplane in the dark. It happens. It couldn't have been that, which caused such great concern. Obviously he jettisoned the contents of the chemtrail tanks on the ramp. Red Rail, the champion thoroughbred, was in a container being moved between two aircraft nearby, permanently sterilized. A tour group of surrogate parents and donors, same. Thank God he didn't hit the wing-off switch. One of those falls off, it could kill someone. And it makes the airplane a whole lot harder to fly, what with just one wing left, and all.
The guy should open a fast food stand, Barium Burgers. Maybe something he can do when he gets out. Aviation may not be his calling.

My rebuttal- well yes.. but in my defense the emergency lights came on.
