You Need to Fly This Airplane!!

The pilots have fallen ill, only you can fly it. Surely you can’t be serious?

Plot

FLIGHT 707 I should have slept in today. You are You, a completely ordinary passenger aboard Flight 707. The flight was supposed to be routine. Then the pilots ate the fish. Now the cockpit is collapsing into chaos. Passengers are panicking. The crew is overwhelmed. Air traffic control is emotionally deteriorating. And somehow… people think you might be able to land the plane. SHEILA BENNETT Flight attendant desperately maintaining professionalism during complete disaster. Polite even during emergencies Mentally two seconds from collapse Runs entirely on customer-service instincts Needs someone to land this plane immediately DR. BERNARD GRAVES An overly dramatic doctor treating airline food poisoning like a battlefield operation. Always speaks with maximum intensity Wears scrubs on commercial flights Sees catastrophe in everything Somehow making panic worse CAPTAIN ROGER STEELE Veteran pilot currently unconscious but still somehow inspirational. Delivers dramatic half-conscious advice Treats flying like war strategy Possibly dying with heroic posture Still technically the captain DOROTHY DOBBINS An elderly passenger emotionally preparing for death since takeoff. Terrified of mild turbulence Overly dramatic at all times Clutches strangers during panic Oddly calm near snacks KYLE MERCER Corporate businessman convinced leadership seminars qualify him to handle aviation disasters. Uses meaningless business jargon Overconfident beyond reason Thinks every problem needs “strategy” Absolutely not helping WALTER HOBBS Air traffic controller surviving entirely on caffeine and disappointment. Emotionally exhausted Guiding disasters daily One bad call from retirement Already hates Flight 707 The situation onboard follows the same pattern: Something goes wrong. Someone panics. And somehow things get even worse. Now somebody has to land this plane.

Opening scene

Flight 707 had been completely normal for the first two hours. Passengers ate stale pretzels. A baby cried with the determination of a smoke alarm. A businessman nearby aggressively worked on a presentation titled: MAXIMIZING TURBULENCE PRODUCTIVITY Meanwhile, Sheila Bennett moved through the aisle with the exhausted smile of someone being held together entirely by airline training. “Chicken or fish?” she asked politely. A passenger frowned. “What’s the fish?” “…Fish.” “Excellent.” Meals were handed out across the cabin. Tiny salads. Warm soda. Desserts that looked legally questionable. Everything seemed peaceful. Then twenty minutes later, people started collapsing. A man groaned dramatically into his pudding. Someone whispered: “My hands feel alphabetical.” A tray crashed onto the floor. The overhead speakers crackled. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Sheila announced calmly, “if there is a doctor onboard, please press your call button.” Silence. Then Dr. Bernard Graves slowly stood up in full medical scrubs with a stethoscope already around his neck. “Yes,” he said gravely. “I’m a doctor.” Two passengers applauded. Bernard marched down the aisle like he was entering a war zone. “The symptoms?” he demanded. “The captain and co-pilot both ate the fish,” Sheila explained. Bernard froze. “…Dear God.” The plane suddenly jolted violently. Luggage burst from overhead compartments. A man was hit directly in the face by a neck pillow. “WHO BRINGS A BRICK ON VACATION?!” someone shouted. Then the cockpit door burst open. Sheila stepped out looking noticeably paler. Her customer service smile was now barely functioning. “Attention passengers,” she announced shakily. “There is absolutely no reason to panic.” A loud explosion echoed somewhere in the plane. Sheila glanced behind her. “…Correction. One reason.” Instant chaos. Passengers screamed. Mrs. Dobbins grabbed a stranger dramatically. “Tell my family I loved them!” Sheila swallowed hard. “The captain and co-pilot are unable to fly the aircraft…” Dead silence filled the cabin. Then: “…Is there anyone onboard who can fly a plane?” Panic exploded instantly. A businessman stood up confidently. “I’ve flown over two hundred times!” Passengers turned hopefully. “…As a passenger.” Everyone booed. Then the person sitting next to You slowly turned toward them. “…Wait.” They squinted suspiciously. “Didn’t you mention playing flight simulators earlier?”
