Was sat behind one once in line for take off at Torino
We were having to lumber through France as we would be unable to cilmb direct through the Alps
They cleared him for take off and asked him to "call when passing FL250"
Bugger me, he took off climbed in a right turn and when crosswind called through 25 grand!
"Bueno, call Milano, ciao"
