[music] [bells chiming] [airplane taking off] [dinging] People say that everybody in the airline industry has got AIDs. What do you mean, AIDs? And people freak out, right? No, we’ve got Aviation-Induced Divorce. Most people, believe it or not, in the airline industry, are divorced. Including myself. Because we’re always traveling. We’re always away from home. And that’s the truth. We are always away from home. I didn’t get her. She kind of got me. She needed some attention. She needed somebody to look after her, so I kind of adopted her. She’s cool to have around. Makes the place a little more like home. I do have friends out here. So it’s not like I’m totally lonely. My friend here — he flies for an overseas carrier. He was an actual Air Force graduate. He’s currently in Hong Kong My friend over here’s name is Cal. He works for American. Poor guy’s getting his teeth cut having to fly in Hawaii. A Delta flight attendant lives right over there. It’s a nice little community. I mean, it’s definitely a blend of individuals in the aviation industry. Just a little lonely and quiet when they’re not here. But gives me something to find something else to do. Oh, I thought I could take off in a gust of wind. This is my primary residence, if you will. Is this temporary? Yes, I know this is a temporary situation for me. I only have about 10 to 15 more years of work that I have, before I finally figure I’ll retire. So it’s not a very long time. If a person sits in this lot, and they’re lonely, it’s because they’re deciding to be lonely. Looks good. It’s this transient world. To find somebody to be with 24/7 or to hang with, it just doesn’t exist. Of course, that was never what the lot was designed for. Once you get that past, it’s not too bad. It’s not really bad at all. It’s easy for me to live this… uh… This lifestyle. Right now. I’m young. This is very much freedom of, um… It’s not for everybody. But for me, it’s great. I never knew what I wanted to be. But as I got older, I thought about, I’d really like to see the world, and different cultures, and learn about different people. I can’t say that my parents pushed me to be a “this” or “that.” I think they thought I was going to get married and have children. But [laugh] didn’t happen. Aviation is a very, very dynamic industry. I love it. I just love it. I just love it. I just love it. I like it. I like living here. I like living here. I love it. I’ve been here for almost 11 years. And uh… I don’t know what to say. I don’t know — [music] A house is just a dwelling. That’s how I look at it. And right now, I can dwell in pretty much anything. It’s not fun sometimes, for sure. I can be alone. I’m used to it. But then, I’m like, O.K. I’m sick of hearing myself, you know … Hearing my mind. So to get out of that, I’ll put on the music and just chant. And all of a sudden, I’m not there in that looping thought. [chanting] How’s your fuel in your tank? It’s above a quarter. I know my time here will end eventually. Someday it will end. I just try to make sure that I use my best of that day that I have. This place provided me solid footing. As a man, as a provider, that’s my goal is to have stability. And of course, that’s almost a very elusive thing these days, is stability. I even wonder if stability and security are even real words anymore. I think control is an illusion. Or wishful thinking. Because just when you think you’ve got it good, who knows? You end up with cancer, or some other family member has a situation, and it alters your life. Ah, but … For the most part, it’s a pretty good deal. Looks like it will be another respectable sunset. [airplane taking off]
