My favorite thing about flying has nothing to do with being in the air. Sure, I’ve always loved soaring above the sky. Looking out the window and seeing the world as it shrinks underneath you is powerful. And getting the chance to see new cities from that height is spectacular; I’ll never forget how Paris sparkles under the night sky. It’s sheer beauty.

But it’s not the immense power or the dazzling sights that gets me going. I love flying because your flight crew becomes your family. My real parents were Singaporean expats doing business in Canada. When I turned twelve, our grandma got sick. So, my mom and dad moved back, to help grandpa. I remained in Vancouver, with my aunt and uncle. They were great, but they weren’t real parents.

When I left them for my pilot’s training, I was on my own. The people I studied with were ok; we struggled through exams together, mourning the length of the program and our collective need to be in the sky. Even then, however, I didn’t feel like they were family.

Perhaps that was why I decided to wait in the airport today. I’d found myself a new family in my flight crew, and any chance I got to see them, I took. The flight attendants were really my best friends. We laughed together as often as we cried together. Months of stressful flights and crazy passengers helped us bond.

“Ming?”

I snap my head up, breaking from my thoughts. Keilani, one of those very important flight attendants, is standing in front of me. She looks tired, but it’s contrasting against her bright, cheerful smile. I’m amazed that she’s still standing after that last long-haul flight. Then again, I’m awake too.

“What’s up?” I ask, offering her a seat at my table.

She smiles, waving it away. “Thanks Ming, but I’m meeting Paul soon. Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”

“Shouldn’t you?” I counter.

She laughs, her raucous guffaws echoing through the semi-empty airport. “I should, I should.
