Apologize for

disrupting

the rest of your journey.

It's ok.

Thanks for being so understanding.

Hey, no problem.

Ms. Zhang,

truly sorry for

the inconvenience.

Hi, Ms. Fu,

huge thanks

for stepping in earlier.

Here's

a fresh fruit platter on us.

Enjoy!

Thanks again.

Least I could do.

Anytime!

Much appreciated!

Captain,

coffee's up.

Thanks a bunch.

Thanks!

Hey, coffee.

Appreciate it.

Captain,

got an update before takeoff:

the passenger's

in the clear!

Plus, Mr. Wang said

Mr. Fu's footing the bill

for lunch!

The crew busted their butts today.

They deserve a feast!

Thanks, cap!

Cap,

is our performance bonus

in the bag?

Cap,

you were insanely cool today!

When do I get to be a rockstar like you?

Don't copy me.

Just keep it safe and boring.

Even with all that emergency training...

Ladies!

After you!

Waiting on my girls!

So I ran to the lead,

and that kept me grounded!

She was an absolute rock today.

Hey!

In a crisis,

nobody beats

her experience!

Alright ladies,

let's go.

Let's do this!

Place looks high-end.

Will there be real food?

C'mon, I'm famished.

Nice and cool in here.

Welcome, ladies!

Mr. Fu!

Hey.

You beat us to it!

I was literally trembling

pouring his drink.

Gang's all here!

Make yourselves at home.

Ladies.

Hope we didn't hold you up?

Nah, we just

showed up early.

Captain,

please.

C'mon.

Over here, Sixian.

C'mon.

Girls, over here!

C'mon.

Captain,

thanks for today.

Find a spot, girls!

Make yourselves home.

Sit here.

Over here, ladies!

Right here.

C'mon.

You first!

C'mon, sit.

Sit.

Hello?

Let's get the food rolling!

[No time.]

[Find your own way back.]

[Fine...]

[It's packed here.]

All served.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

So...

you girls crushed it today!

Before we start,

how about a toast from

Mr. Fu?

- Whoo! - Please.

Yes!

Let's skip the speeches.

Don't want this feeling like corporate.

Hey,

cap,

would you do us the honor?

Yes!

Captain Fan,

take the floor!

Nah,

I'll just turn it into a shift recap!

Then...

Lead,

a few words?

I'll pass.

I'd sound like

a safety briefing.

Come on, nobody?

It'd be super awkward

if I did it!

I must be cramping your vibe

today.

You're not usually

this shy.

Right?

You girls are usually

a riot!

We're bubbly, I swear!

Totally! Full of energy.

May I say something...

Today was

my very first time flying.

I was stressing out,

and when it went down, I panicked.

Felt like I was totally useless.

Sit down, honey.

While we ran CPR

in the front,

you handled

the whole cabin like a pro.

That was a lifesaver.

Honestly,

couldn't even tell

you were a rookie.

And to all you girls,

you were

all rockstars!

Straight A's on your evaluations!

Nice!

Yay!

You know,

my very

first flight,

she was my lead too.

She has

a gift for

lifting people up.

Getting her on flight one

is winning the lottery.

Oh, stop,

you're flattering me!

The pleasure

is all mine.

Here's to all of us!

Hear, hear!

I was low-key freaking out today!

One wrong move,

and HR

would've had

our heads!

Oh, please!

You worked your butt off.

You're

totally getting a gold star!

Thank goodness that doctor was on board.

Too bad she didn't

leave a number.

Without her,

it would've been a disaster.

Alright

gang!

Glasses up,

girls!

A toast to

making it through today!

And Mr. Fu,

close it out for us!

Only one rule tonight:

clean your plates

and empty your glasses.

Cheers.

Hear, hear!

You did great today.

Dig in, girls!

Cheers!

Enjoy yourselves!

Cheers!

Cheers!

To an awesome crew!

Thanks!

Best lunch ever!

Totally!

Yummy!

Our Uber's here,

see you guys!

Bye! See ya!

Sweetie, got a ride?

Sixian, where's your place?

I can drop you off!

Don't worry about it.

I've got her.

Have a good one.

Well...

it's really

close by.

I kinda just wanna walk.

Funny enough,

I'm in the mood for a walk too.

Ah, gotcha.

Well, I'm outta here.

Stay outta trouble!

Let's bounce.

See ya, cap!

Mr. Fu, Sixian,

I'll be going too.

Take care.

The lead

was surprisingly sweet today.

Sweet in what way?

I've flown with her before,

and honestly...

thought she didn't like me.

Today was totally different.

Today felt like hitting reset,

like we just met for the first time!

If only

first impressions could last forever.

Let's skip our first impression, thanks.

Hey,

two seafood rice, please!

You got it!

Still hungry?

Please, who actually eats

in front of the big boss?

So if I skipped out,

everyone would've had

a better feast?

Look at you,

Mr. Fu!

Self-awareness looks good on you.

Want a bite?

Trust me, take a bite.

It'll blow your mind.

How is it?

First time trying it,

but...

it's actually good.

Quit playing so posh!

The passengers

had no idea

what was happening

in the cockpit.

They thought it was

just a regular landing.

Only me and the co-pilot saw

how insane cap was!

Nobody else on earth

could've stuck

that landing

so perfectly.

And the absolute best part?

The second

wheels hit the tarmac,

she acted like

it was just another day.

So badass!

She is amazing.

She's been your instructor

for a while.

How well do you know her?

Inside and out!

I recall

before I came in,

she had another legendary flight.

Ring a bell?

It was all over the news!

That's literally the day

Captain Fan

became my idol!

And do you remember

the aftermath?

Aftermath?

She became a celebrity pilot,

a trainer,

and now my mentor.

What you getting at?

Just saying...

pilots as great as her

often carry

heavy burdens

in secret.

Sometimes,

when you risk everything,

the reward

isn't always fair.

Isn't that the thrill

of being a pilot?

Guess I'm still

too green

to fully appreciate it.

I won't truly get it

until I'm the captain

flying our very own Z101!

I've got a question

for you.

If I didn't double

your signing bonus,

would you

still pick us?

Just so you know,

Yan An

had a fat check

ready for me too!

Take it or leave it, mister.

Yan An?

Can he

put you in

a state-of-the-art Z101?

Not right now,

but give them

a couple of years.

And does he

have an ace instructor

like Captain Fan?

OK, you got me there.

Then shouldn't the lovely Ms. Ruan

cut her boss

a little more slack?

Hey, I've been sweet alright?

Though,

props to Mr. Fu

for the big check!

Save

a bit more,

and I'll own my dream home.

Captain Fan

mentioned your situation.

Relax,

standard employee background check.

I know

you sold your house.

[The paperwork is]

[all wrapped up.]

Next step is just finalizing the deed.

Do you mind if I...

stay a bit longer?

Sure thing.

Take your time.

Thanks.

I'll lock up

on my way out.

No problem.

Thanks.

See you, Ms. Ruan.

[Look at you, missy!]

[Hey, mister!]

[Your wife's picking on me again!]

[What's all this?]

[Look at your messy little face!]

[Don't bother your mom,]

[go eat!]

[Honey, breakfast is ready!]

[Food time!]

[I'll punish your mom later!]

[Let's eat!]

[Here, wipe those hands.]

[Chop chop,]

[you'll be late]

[for class!]

[Sweetheart, you need veggies.]

[You can't just scarf down meat.]

[Why not?]

[No fiber means]

[your plumbing gets plugged!]

[My plumbing works perfectly, thanks!]

[Nice try,]

[you were stuck yesterday!]

[Eat up.]

[Uh oh...]

[Plumbing's calling...]

[Finish your plate,]

[we gotta run!]

[Dad, are you done in there?]

[One sec!]

[Hurry! The bell's gonna ring!]

[Here I am!]

[Preaching veggies]

[when you're backed up!]

[No sweat.]

[If you're late,]

[blame it on your lazy dad!]

[You're teaching first period!]

[Oops,]

[my showcase lecture is today!]

[Completely slipped my mind!]

[Let's roll!]

[Why is your face still painted?]

[You can't walk on campus like that!]

[Move, move!]

[Did I pull too hard?]

[Ow! It hurts!]

[You ever used a comb before?!]

[I practiced, I swear!]

[Practiced on scalping?!]

[Never mind,]

[I'm out of here!]

Mr. Fu,

bad comfort feels worse than

no comfort at all.

Sorry.

Not hungry?

Guess it's mine then.

Hey, lead!

Evening, lead!

[Sorry, the subscriber you dialed]

[cannot be reached at the moment.]

[Please dial later.]

[I'm already back home.]

[Must be a long day today.]

[Turn in early.]

Is this...

Right through the gate.

That's where you used to live?

Where I used to live...

and

where I'm moving back very soon.

Meaning?

Thanks to the boss'

fat signing bonus!

Though prices jumped

since it's school-zoned,

so I'm still a little short.

Give me some time,

and I'll reclaim it.

C'mon,

I'll show you around.

You see that window?

That was my whole life

for twenty years.

We had our

kitchen table right there.

Dad and I

would have breakfast together

every single day.

What's with the stares?

No reason.

Mark my words,

I'm moving back in.

Guess I overshared tonight.

C'mon.

Thanks for walking me back.

Sixian.

Yeah?

Never mind.

Get some rest.

Uh... you too.

[She is amazing.]

[And do you remember]

[the aftermath?]

[She became a celebrity pilot,]

[a trainer,]

[and now my mentor.]

[What you getting at?]

[Just saying...]

[Sixian.]

[Yeah?]

[Never mind.]

Uh...

Mr. Wang...

My bad...

Got an emergency!

Of course it's you,

always a whirlwind!

What now?

Mr. Wang,

have you heard?

Captain Fan got suspended!

There's no way this is fair!

And what exactly is your plan?

I'm demanding answers from the higher-ups!

Hold your horses!

Come to my office.

Right now.

Take a seat.

I'll get you some water.

Sit.

I can't just sit here!

I need to fix this!

Will you stop panicking?

I know you're upset,

and I know what you're gonna say!

That's why

I brought you here,

to stop you from doing something reckless!

Stay in this chair.

Upper management has their protocols.

It's just temporary,

don't blow a gasket!

A suspension ruins careers!

Captain Fan did the right thing!

Touchdown was flawless,

the passenger got emergency care,

and Mr. Fu

literally treated us to lunch!

You think I don't know that?

Going to the department head is pointless.

He has zero say in this!

Fine.

I'll bypass him.

I'm asking Mr. Fu directly!

I wanna know which one was genuine,

yesterday's feast,

or today's punishment!

Barging into his office won't help!

This came from the top!

Heart-to-heart,

we're all rooting for cap.

But our

safety assessment system tripped.

Whenever an incident

gets logged,

you get grounded pending review.

Protocols are

written by people!

They aren't set in stone.

She literally saved a passenger!

She deserves commendation.

Can't Fu Mingyu see that?

Sixian,

wake up!

Captain Fan already

accepted the penalty

first thing this morning!

Going on a crusade now

isn't defending her;

it's making things worse!

Plant yourself right here

and finish the glass.

Get your head straight.

Not a step till you finish every drop!

This hits

way too close to home!

You bleed

for this job all shift,

and instead of a "thank you,"

they basically hand you a pink slip!

That's totally unfair!

Exactly!

It feels like

a complete betrayal!

And I was strolling down the street

with him like a naive school girl,

opening up

about my childhood home!

I thought we were connecting,

meanwhile he was

sharpening his axe

for his own frontline staff!

Pause,

back up a second.

When did you two

become besties?

Stay on subject, MISSY!

You seriously defending

Mr. Corporate Coldheart again?

I never defend him,

alright?

I'm just

analyzing the facts.

He is the VP.

He's forced to sign off

on corporate policies,

even if he secretly

hates them.

Otherwise,

why was he

so painfully tongue-tied

when he

walked you back?

He benched my idol,

and I'm supposed to sympathize with his pain?!

OK, truce!

I'm on your side!

Don't aim your anger at me!

Cap got

completely

screwed!

She did the right thing

and got suspended for it!

Yours.

Shh! It's cap.

Hey...

[Sweetie.]

[You're off tomorrow.]

[Got any plans?]

Uh, not really...

Careful on that slide, hon!

Making you

spend your weekend

babysitting.

Thanks, sweetie.

Can't believe she's already

in full-time daycare.

Two pilots

under one roof.

It comes with the territory.

Silver lining

though,

finally getting quality time

with my girl.

Still, cap...

you shouldn't

be grounded.

And?

The passenger

made it to the ER.

But you did

everything right!

Even if someone has to take the blame,

why does it

have to be all on you?

So what?

I'm the pilot in command.

When you're

running the cockpit one day,

you'll take the heat too.

Know why

I vouched for you

at the academy?

Because I begged

and bugged you relentlessly?

I don't help

just anyone who bugs me.

Back then, they only

accepted pipeline-cadets.

So why did you help me?

I told you

every harsh reality

women deal with

in the cockpit.

Most girls would've

run for the hills.

You didn't flinch.

You were dead set

on selling your house

just to pay for the tuition.

I had just

given birth back then.

My family wanted me

grounded for good,

and I was

hitting a wall anyway.

Walking away sounded easy.

Then you walked in.

I saw that familiar fire

in your eyes.

It woke up my love for flying

all over again.

So sure,

I opened

a door for you...

but you're the one who saved my wings.

But I regretted what happened that day.

You jumped in to save a life,

and I actually tried to stop you...

Every pilot knows

banking over 30 degrees

flags

the QAR.

Hand-flying that sharp turn

shaved minutes off

the emergency.

It was one hundred percent

worth it.

As the crew in front,

human lives

come before

everything.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

No looking back.

You trying to

stop me;

you were

looking out for me.

I got it.

But

for you guys,

strict adherence to protocols

must be

second nature.

When I

called that turn,

I knew exactly

what was coming.

I did it anyway,

ready to take whatever hit

corporate threw at me.

So stop beating yourself up.

And don't go

picking fights with Mr. Fu.

It wasn't

just

his decision anyway.

We preserved

a precious life.

A child

didn't lose her mother.

That makes me happier than anything.

Really.

Cap...

I'm so sorry.

I gotta get this off my chest.

I thought about

fighting this for you,

but people said

it'd just hurt you more.

And honestly...

I got cold feet.

I hated myself for backing down.

Sweetie,

listen up.

Hundreds of souls were behind me,

and the clock was ticking.

I had to pull the trigger.

Always remember:

the folks in back

are someone's family.

They're parents,

brothers, best friends.

They boarded that plane

to see loved ones,

reunite with old pals,

or

chase down their dreams.

Getting them there in one piece

is the whole reason

we wear these wings.

I got it, cap.

Morning, beautiful!

Morning, Mr. Yan.

On flight duty today?

Hop in!

Heading to the terminal

right now anyway.

Hey,

thought we were buddies?

I'm genuinely going your way!

No thanks,

my Uber's around the corner.

I've been eyeing you from across the street.

Your app is still searching!

Hey...

didn't you just pull up?

Minor details!

Hop in.

Wouldn't want you getting docked!

Fine, thanks then.

My pleasure!

Watch your head.

Stop staring. Spit it out.

Sixian,

about last time...

I never properly apologized.

I'm truly sorry.

Water under

the bridge.

What's your real angle?

Give it to me straight.

You turning me down...

is it because of

that jerk Fu Mingyu?

It's gotta be him!

That bastard has totally been

poisoning your mind,

running a full smear campaign

against me!

He's ruining my good rep

just to sweep you off your feet!

Are you seriously whining about this?

I'm just getting warmed up!

He fired the first shot,

so gloves are off!

He wants dirty laundry?

I've got

closets full of it!

Fourth grade!

That genius was trapped

in a stall

with no TP for over two hours!

Guess who

saved his butt

with a roll? Me!

I've got

truckloads of stories like that!

He sabotaged my shot with you,

so he's not getting you either!

Whenever you want the dirt,

I'm ready.

Want the

preschool-to-present

recap?

I swear it's true!

And then he...

His cringey smirk...

Oh yeah!

Classic!

Oops, your suitcase!

Yeah,

my suitcase...

He seriously did that?!

Dead serious!

Hilarious...

OK.

Text me!

Cool.

Later!

Peace!

Punching the clock, Mr. Fu?

Chauffeuring for a living now?

That bastard...

Where were we?

Captain Fan's incident.

Ground crew checked the bird.

Land weight was slightly over,

but the jet

has zero damage.

I checked with

Safety again.

The flight data

definitely breached

our

QAR limits.

Look,

that whole policy is broken.

QAR is

just

black-and-white data.

Corporate narrowed

the safety thresholds

just to

make monitoring

effortless.

Great pilots

fly safely

every day,

only to

get grounded

over a couple of

harmless numbers!

So you find the policy unjust.

Go ahead.

You can be honest.

It's...

beyond unjust.

These

metrics

are out of touch.

Between you and me...

it's management

taking the easy way out.

Zhu Dong...

Hearing that from you

is reassuring.

This is an overdue overhaul

this company

must tackle.

Overhauling safety rules...

is risky.

You're new in this chair...

Don't stir up a storm.

Wasting time and resources

on meaningless

routines...

That is stirring up trouble.

First things first:

we need to fix

Captain Fan's suspension.

Who's this good boy?

Meet Q!

So adorable!

So is yours!

Have a good one!

See ya!

Just starting the walk?

Yep, just got down.

Wanna loop around?

Let's do it!

Why are you lurking around?

Waiting for you.

About?

Why were you...

hanging out with Yan An?

What's your problem?

What were you doing

in his passenger seat?

He offered a ride!

What?

Since when do I need Mr. Fu's clearance?

Why him?

I said, he was offering me a ride.

If you're tipsy, go sleep it off!

Hands off!

You policing my social life now?!

Major boundary violation, boss.

You sign my paychecks,

you don't own

my off-duty hours!

Don't tell me...

Tired of being my boss?

Wanna be my boyfriend instead?

In your wildest dreams!

Hi there!

Hello!

I'm scheduled to see Mr. Fu.

He's in a briefing.

Why don't you wait inside his office?

Make yourself comfortable.

Water for you.

[Boss' secret first love?]

Everything's booked?

Yes,

sir.

All squared away.

Hey, Mingyu...

I mean, Mr. Fu...

What you doing here?

Ta-da! The new proposal!

Pulled all-nighters for it!

Guaranteed to blow your mind!

Sir,

the instructor is ready

at the training center.

My schedule is packed.

You'll have to wait.

Let's move.

Right, business first...

Wait, by "wait"...

how many hours are we talking...

[JUST A DESPERATE VENDOR!]

So

that's the story of

how I earned

my wings at

Hengshi Airlines.

Hope it gives you all

some inspiration.

Thank you!

Honestly,

I'd love to

visit again

to geek out

over

single-pilot cockpits

and fully automated flight.

Next time,

I'll bring my colleague,

Ruan Sixian.

She's actually an alum

from here!

When we first flew together,

I wondered

what school

produces

such a rockstar pilot.

Standing here today,

it all makes sense.

You guys are incredible.

I wish I could

relive my college days

at a campus as great as this.

We still got time.

Hit me with

whatever questions

you have!

Don't hold back!

Yes.

Captain Yue,

once you wear four stripes...

does

dating instantly get super easy?

I'll give it to you

straight.

[That is]

[100%]

[an urban myth.]

[I don't know about other carriers,]

[but tons of folks]

[at Hengshi]

[are single.]

[Our world is]

[very small.]

[Between flight shifts and layovers,]

[we have zero bandwidth]

[for romance.]

[Great question!]

[What about you, cap?]

[Are you on the market?]

[Guilty as charged.]

[Still very single]

[and flying solo.]

[Yes!]

[Haha, appreciate the love!]
