“Take me to the pilot.”
“What’s wrong?” The flight attendant looked at me dismissively.
“We’re off course.”
“I can assure you that—”
“Don’t assure me.” I got up and pushed her out the way.
She screamed after me. “Stop!”
Running up the aisle, I pulled open the curtain segregating coach from first class and proceeded to bang on the cockpit door.
“Why are you flying over the Atlantic?” I yelled.
I turned to stare at the frightened faces in first class.
One Asian lady said, “We fly to Cambodia … need to go over Atlantic.”
“Cambodia? I’m going to Canada.”
