The handsome,flamboyant, arrogant pilot was an expert while in command.Passengers felt safe and reassured after hearing him and settled comfortably.The destination was many hours away.Unmindful of the warm flush on a few faces,the air hostess beamed radiant smiles.The flight was smooth with people taking a quick snooze before lunch.
There was this fat man may be on a business trip having a light pleasant smile across his face. He may be dreaming of his wife and kids or even better the tension-less few days away from a nagging wife; the newly married couple to the right the wife was clinging on to her husband as if the plane would rip apart or maybe it was her maiden flight;the little boy sucked his lollipop and twirled his hair and stared at all the switches overhead; the PYT at the window seat maybe was remembering her first kiss on the lips full on taken by surprise and savoring the moment as a sweet smile gently flitted across her face; the handsome curly mop head with plugged earphones was enjoying some good music as his hands and head were in a steady rhythm;the fat lady adjusted her suit and settled for reading the romantic book taking her down memory lane.
The lunch served and cleared.The flight was smooth.Almost eight hours covered. Those with new dreams unfolding were jolted from their snooze and slumber. The announcement of getting ready for the touchdown. People were fumbling for seat belts.
The expert pilot was at his best with the control tower in not only giving positions but also taking instructions.He never for a moment argued or voiced his opinion.Quite strange for an experienced pilot .He quietly followed instructions and landed on the tarmac smoothly without causing anyone discomfort. He taxied his way and brought the plane ready to disembark.There was jostling to go out.With man, bag and baggage unloaded the pilot and his crew walked out majestically. Kudos to the captain for a safe landing.
It then dawned, the dashing looks,the behavior,the arrogance of the pilot was all kept aside.The control panel could give his position clearly to land.Yet, he did not flout protocols but listened carefully and clearly for the instructions from the control tower following everything to a T.
The instructions perhaps would have been relayed by someone who may not have flown an aircraft nor had the prescribed hours of flying, or from someone who was less educated ,or from a person with a lower financial status than the pilot. Nothing mattered.
Ego had no place at all. It was just compliance and obedience to the voice.Lives of 250 people was at stake.One wrong move would make a different story.
The pilot was clear of his role and responsibilities and communicated well by taking good decisions for the welfare and safety of all on board.
