Chicago O'Hare Airport, January 30th 2068

If one more small, perfect snowflake landed on the window, she was going to scream. The world's busiest airport for over 100 years was at a standstill. Chicago, in the dead of winter, was not a place Elise Collins had wanted to spend the night.

Sighing, she started away from the window back towards her seat when she heard the terminal page advising her to proceed to the nearest courtesy videophone for an important call. She closed her eyes, counting to ten before she moved. Elise knew who the call would be from. Her Boss...her VERY upset Boss. Another bawling out from him was the last thing she needed. Didn't the man understand that 'grounded' meant ALL aircraft and not just a select few?

"...Yes Sir, I know that...but...Mr. Lyle, if..."

"Don't give me excuses Collins, Do you have any idea how important these clients are? They need to be in Los Angeles by 10.00am! YOU are supposed to be in Phoenix picking them up! I pay you to fly! Not to sit around and watch the weather!"

She needn't have bothered to try to continue the conversation because Mr. Lyle of Lyle Corporate Jets had disconnected the call. Obviously he wasn't going to listen to anything she had to say. Her flight plan had been to fly from Denver to Chicago, change aircraft and then proceed to Phoenix to collect two very influential Japanese businessmen and fly them to Los Angeles where they would catch an International Flight to Japan.

This was her job. After 9 years in the USAF, she'd become a corporate pilot, certified on Jets, SST's and helijets. At first, it was all that she had dreamed, until Mr. Lyle took over the company his Father had built. The Son was now flying it into the ground.

Elise made her way downstairs from the chaos in the main terminal, to the corporate, and private jet Flight Plan Center. It was busy with pilots and controllers who were trying to keep up with the weather and flight plans. Flopping down on the nearest sofa, Elise sighed and rubbing her now throbbing head, mumbled, "I have got to get another job."

"Well, if you're serious about that, I have some info you may find interesting." came the reply from the pilot sitting across from her.

"Yes! I am. I've had it up to here." she stated, emphasizing the fact with her hand.

"Well, I heard on the grapevine that Tracy Industries is looking for a few good pilots."

This caught her attention. "Really? Tracy Industries? Are you sure?"

"Yep. Thinking of applying myself actually." Elise watched the man as he got up to refill his coffee. Sitting back, she rustled through her tired brain and came up with one word that could change her dire job situation.

"Scott."
