My dad is the youngest ace pilot in the country.
He's equipped with extremely stellar piloting skills. But on the day my mom suffers from a sudden heart attack and desperately needs to transfer hospitals, he refuses to fly her out with the excuse that the weather is terrible.
Later on, someone records Dad flying a private jet just to scatter flower petals from a high altitude on a sunny day in order to celebrate the birthday of another woman's daughter.
Meanwhile, my mom ends up dying on the stretcher while waiting to be saved. He didn't even show up, right up until the burial.
For the next 20 years, my uncle has to take on cab orders every night just to put me through flight school.
The day I become the youngest chief examiner of the Federal Aviation Administration, an airline delivers to me the file of a piloting prodigy for a captain upgrade assessment.
The CEO of the airline is present as the guarantor of said pilot candidate. He puts himself in a very humble position when he addresses me.
"Mr. Lowe, this young woman is extremely talented. If you drop your signature now, she will become the youngest pilot ever."
I flip through the candidate's piloting resume. When my eyes fall on the list of her family members and her emergency contact, I'm stunned for a moment.
Then, I stare at the young woman's photo for a very long time.
Finally, I close the file and state softly, "Sorry. I won't approve her evaluation."
