Through her first five months at a regional airline.
Lisa Thornton of number 205 Colorado Springs was proud to say that life was perfectly normal, thank you very much.
That is, if you count recent breakup, first type rating, new company, single pet parent, crushing studen loan debt, and a two leg commute to the most humid place on earth as normal.
The mediocore moments were filled with binge worthy netflix shows, moldy hotel gyms, long walks along the interstate to score gas station food, a lot of trial and error on what to pack, and constant in-the-mirror pep talks: "you're the airboss... act like it."
During the worst moments, she almost walked away from the airlines all together. "There has to be more to life than this." she told herself.
During the best moments, she realized how far she'd come and saw glimmers of the conuntless opportunities waiting just around the corner.
