At one commuter airline, which had 38 twin Otters, one pilot there was nearly always performing takeoffs with zero flaps, due to his belief that the airplane would not fly on one engine otherwise....
and of course he dragged the tail on one, so was promptly shown the door.
Now, I personally thought this guy was just a tad strange, as he left a job flying a JetStar to fly the deHavilland twin engine wonder.
Go figure.
