Fortunately for them, on this celebration, the hero was simply doing his task, just he wasn't really at work at the time.
You see, often pilots can make the most of inexpensive or totally free flights where they can take a trip as guests rather of flying the aircraft.
It's a practice called ‘deadheading', for whatever factor.
