Our rogue pilot was, wait, not a pilot?????? Nah.

'We don't know how he learned to do that'
Airline officials said they are not sure how the ground services worker learned to operate a plane, much less perform flying stunts.
There are many switches and levers to start a plane, Horizon Air CEO Gary Beck said at a news conference Saturday. "We don’t know how he learned to do that."
"To our knowledge he did not have a pilot's license," Beck said. But he performed some "incredible" maneuvers."
Seems this was poorly thought out, folks didn't get their story correct.

Here is audio of the pilot, his name was Rich, talking to the air traffic controller during the flight.
At one point, he asked for coordinates of the Orca who is carrying her dead calf. He wanted to see the sights on his last flight.
He says he wants to do a barrel roll before landing, and looks like he pulled it off. He said he learned how to fly from playing video games.

Re Q Post #1845 on qntmpkts.keybase.pub:
Picture filename is 1534006548899.jpg
I think there may be a 2 step decode required on this to interpret a message:
1) convert the number to binary:
1534006548899 becomes
1001100111001000010100011101101111001
2) Turn 1s into dashes and 0s into dots then translate as Morse code:
1001100111001000010100011101101111001 becomes
-..--..--..-....-.-...---.--.----..-
I'm not very experienced with Morse Code and don't know where the character breaks should be...
Can anyone help interpret this Morse code string:
-..--..--..-....-.-...---.--.----..-
