Checklist Complete | Pilot
"Be advised on initial contact you have information Bravo."I nodded to myself, jotting down the weather information and the contact code on my kneeboard. My headphones muffled the sounds of passengers boarding the flight.I was so immersed in my preflight work, I didn't notice the Captain enter the cockpit. My eyes scanned the master flight plan, double checking that all the numbers were correct. Oil, hydraulics, fuel, oxygen - everything was logged precisely down to the decimal. "Alright, flight plan is uploaded & we should be ready for pushback in about 10 minutes," I announced, finally looking over to my left. My eyes widened, taking in the sight before me. He was tall with dark chestnut hair that was styled in a casual manner & a pair of sunglasses covered his eyes. His skin had a gorgeous tan that had me jealous. The white material of his uniform stretched over his broad shoulders, neatly tucking into his navy coloured trousers. I blinked rapidly, averting my gaze as he took a seat beside me. "Apologies for the late arrival," he began, getting himself situated. "I'll let it slide this time," I muttered in response, fiddling with the APU switches overhead. He didn't reply, but his lips twitched as he put on his headphones. I stole a glance in his direction, trying to catch a glimpse of his name badge. There was no doubt he was a Captain, the 4 stripes on his epaulettes confirmed that. He didn't say much as he completed his checking of the instruments & systems before clearing his throat to make a PA announcement. "Ready?""Hm?""Start Checklist?""Oh yes, sorry," I muttered, reaching for the laminated checklist. "Gear pins?""Removed.""Lights?" "Check."We went through the checklist smoothly in a nice flow & I found myself enjoying his deep, soothing voice. "Checklist complete.""Confirm, checklist complete," I nodded, looking up from the sheet. His grey eyes met mine, making my breath catch in my throat.Well fuck.…
