During the flight, Bertazzo allegedly told Rosario, “You know what to do” before removing his headset, arranging his belongings, taking off his seatbelt and exiting the aircraft.
Importantly, the article also says she was trained, but still needed some hours with an instructor or pilot before being allowed to fly solo. He must have decided his other student that day wasn't ready but felt she'd be safe without him. Better than some suicidal pilots who have crashed the whole plane.
Landings are pretty much your first focus after basic air work, and you can solo in 15-20 hours typically. A full license is around 80 hours (at least here in Canada), and she had a ppl already.

'Fuck me, you're a bad pilot. I'm going to take my chances out there'.
Rosario: "Wait! What the fuck are you doing?!"
Bertazzo: "I must go! My people need meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Ah, a regular article for the "entertainment" category.
Is the thumbnail photo of the instructor who killed himself?
Yes, it is.
That seems so morbid when the article is more focused on the student than the pilot.
Are we sure she didn't kick him out? Seems very sus
