"Another day, another airliner. Just shoot me now." This essay follows the thoughts of an executive commuting to work on an airliner—once a mark of the elite, but now a barely-tolerated imposition. Along the way, he remembers life as a fun-loving kid and searches to recall how he was tricked into going through life on Autopilot: caring only for the destination at the expense of the journey.
