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.

Probably didn't even have the courtesy to close the door behind him

Well I suppose... at least that's not as bad as slamming it angrily.
