>Cargo Pilots' Aileron Roll Attempt Damages Learjet...

Perhaps (absolutely no data) it was not his first.

That's the ironic thing about flight experience and classical "learning".
The more we do something that we probably shouldn't, and get away with it,
the more we instinctively "learn" that it's doable.  Thus, another reason to
avoid that slippery slope to begin with.  However when inadvertent, seems an
important aspect of safe/appropriate decision making is to cognitively deny
ourselves the "it's doable" learning from those experiences (e.g. marginal
weather, at/below minimums, minimal fuel, icing etc).

I've often thought there is an additional Dangerous Attitude to add to the
FAA's ADM list:  "It's ok, I've done it before".  The antidote would be
something like "Historic results themselves are not guarantees of future
success".  Wall street rises (and falls) by that realization every day.
