I once heard about a pilot who, after his last flight before retiring, took off without clearance and did a barrel roll. He was the only one on the plane when he did it, so no passenger could sue him, and, as long as he landed the plane safely, all the airline could do was fire him, and he was retiring anyway.
This is why I always take German operated airlines. The Germans donāt really understand what the English mean by ābarrel rollā. The Germans think it means to roll out the barrel, as in the āBeer Barrel Polkaā. āThis is your pilot speaking. Whoās up for a stein of beer, because itās time to roll out the barrel! Weāre going to have a barrel of fun! Because the gangās all here!ā
Iāve never been on a flight like that. I always have either have a 400-pound person sitting next to me, or some jerk guy who thinks he has a right to have his legs and elbows all over my seat area.
Seriously, I was getting on a crowded flight once and found the huge guy in the seat next to mine had the arm rest up and was on half my seat. There literally was no room for me to sit. After everyone got on the plane, the flight attendants said one person did not show up, so I was given that personās seat.
I donāt know what would have happened otherwise. Would they have put me off the plane or put off the guy who was taking two seats or just told me tough luck, squeeze in and suffer with that strange guy pressed up against me?
I do have some sympathy for that guy. He may have medical problems or whatever, so I am not blaming him. Mostly I blame the airlines and their tiny seats and no leg room.

Wait until the drinks and snacks are served, the airline will be able to charge for those items twice.

Sounds like something an old Southwest crew would pull. They used to be so fun to fly with.

In 1955 a Boeing pilot doing a flyover at a boat race did a barrel roll in a 707 prototype. >
