maybe he was a commuter and only had 1 day off before he had to go back...haha days off are days off no sense in spending them in the back of a plane...

using the overwing exits = increase in QOL:cool:

Because they have stopped taking their medication, or they don't yet know that they need medication.:)

Odd that the story I saw showed video of a MD with the tail cone dropped and the rear slide deployed even when they were saying he ran from the rear of the plane to the front.

It's an incredibly dangerous idea as well - had that been a 737 (or anything else with wing mounted engines) this could have ended far differently.

I can’t tell you how many times I've wanted to do that too. Stopped in front of a gate for ten minutes waiting on a ramper to wand us in. I could just jump out and do it myself.

Maybe, the lav was out of service, and he was about to have a woho incident?

The power of the poo, can make men do strange things...:p

Because airline fares are so cheap relative to their old values that individuals formerly limited to Greyhound travel are now flying to their destinations.
