"You passed all the requirements needed." Napaisip ang assistant director ng isang aviation company na pinasukan ni Celestina, para mag apply bilang lisensyadong piloto.

She graduated as valedictorian and achieved all the requirements needed to be a licensed pilot. Iyon ang pinaka magandang nangyari sa kaniya sa pilipinas.

Sa pagbuhos ng isang baldeng tubig sa kaniya, habang suot-suot niya ang uniporme niya sa likod ng pakpak ng jet plane bilang pagsunod sa tradisyon bago maging piloto ganoon din ang pag simula ng panibago niyang buhay.

Hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan ang pagpapalipad niya sa eroplano without someone to assist her. The hard work is just so worth it.

Nag a-apply muna siya para may income naman siya at matustusan lahat ng pangangailangan niya habang namamalagi sa California.

"But we see Miss Alveina, you just recently graduated from college and collected all the requirements," napakagat labi si Celestina, ominous thoughts rummaging her mind.

NAGDADASAL na ako mentally. I needed this job. Please naman po.

"So you'll be temporarily putted and assigned to fly private planes only. Take note, only you can fly private planes. The company will contact you every unexpected time, so you need to be cognizant." Mr Alezar spoke pompously

"And only Von Levar Airline you can accommodate, knowing that your job isn't settling like any other. And of course, depending on your exposition will decide if you're ready, as the company will appoint you to your stable job." He added and i nodded looking down at his scattering desk trying to drink everything he said.

"So Miss Alveina, is it a deal?" He said, sounding more impatient and so kamuntikan ko ng itirik ang mga mata ko.

"But can i get another job aside from this?" I hope pwede, kasi hindi pwedeng wala pa akong stable na trabaho.

"You'll be paid 30 to 50 thousands per flight you took, depending on how important and whom you'll be servicing. The maximum flight you'll take per month will be at 3-8 flights and that doesn't include any other immediate flights we do not expect, so you are demand to be ready all the time. Its in your contract, please see then you can put your name below your signature if you agree in everything that's been written in there." I nodded as I stretched my hand to grab the contract he extended to me. So when my salary would be between 30 and 50..and my flight expected to be took is between 3 and 8...

That's a hella lot of money!

I shrill internally. Knowing I'm living on my own now, that'll do me good.

"In this company, we only got 4 private pilots and that includes you. You need a good feedback especially that you're the first female pilot to apply here." He smiles without showing off his teeth.

Good god, is that a good thing? I mean, they'll (i think) expect too much with me that i'm afraid i cannot fulfill that all, er.

Binaba ko ang tingin ko sa kontrata at binasa lahat, may uniform naman ako, same sa co-pilot ko. Mga bawal naka lista din and tattoos are hereby not allowed as well as piercings, too much make up, presence of alcohol and other specific common veto of a job.

Nakalagay din na, baka ma-request ako, of course unexpectedly, sa mga private helicopters in need to fly. Another thousands din daw yun, so who me to not accept?

It also demands to always be in formal in every possible way especially inside the company institution. And there's a designated cap that is a must for me to use every time i'm out of the plane.

Pinermahan ko ang kontrata, its quite a start for me, so why not? Tapos ako pa lang ang nag iisang babae na magiging piloto nila dito. Oh, diba? What a fortune!
