"Oops."
"What?" The voice of the copilot was clearly panicked.
"Just seeing if you're awake."
"Don't pull crap like that, Tenley. Hong Kong's one of the trickier airports to land in, and we're being recorded."
"I've landed here a million times, and my cockpit recordings get peddled around for their high entertainment value. Just sit back and dream of a thousand virgins. You're new to this route, aren't you?"
"I've landed here a couple of times," Copilot Peterson of the Cathay Pacific jetliner answered.
"I fly out of Sydney occasionallyâthe LA route mostly," the pilot said. "And Hong Kong to London too."
Peterson knew that flying the longer routes, especially as captain, was a mark of seniority and trust at the airlines. Something he was still years away from. "I usually do the Sydney to KL routeâand to Penang and Bangkok too," he offered. He wouldn't even give a hint that he'd try matching skills with this guy in conversationâin several realms. The guy had been bragging nearly nonstop, but at least on the topic of flying, he had the credentials.
"Ah, Penang. I get your route occasionally. Got a little hideaway resort in Penang I go to on long layovers. Wooden bungalows right out over the water. Shallow water, white-sandy bottom. A whole lot of local talent there."
"Local talent?"
"Pussy. Good place to take a honey too. Isolated. Nothing to do but eat, fuck, swim, and fuck, and she can't just hop a taxi and go into town if you treat her too rough. No town, except Georgetown, and it isn't much of a town and is pretty isolated itself. They staff the place mostly with Malaysian and Thai sweeties. Probably from local brothels. They'll put out at the flash of a rubber and a bit of cash. Don't even have to bring your own pussy."
"Quite the ladies man, are you? You talk to all of them like this?"
"Oh, no. The way to keep the ladies sucking and riding your cock is to treat them like princesses in public and like whores in bed. They really go for that."
Peterson had heard this type of prattle all across the Pacific from LA. He didn't know if the guy was for real or not. Quite good looking and built and looking hardly old enough to have piloted the LA-to-Hong Kong route as much as he claimed. But Peterson had to admit the man handled the bird well, despite the juvenile talk and sick joking. Perhaps he handled the other birds, as he called them well, too.
"You'll have to give me the name of the resort," he said to redirect the conversation. "We'll have to give it a whirl."
"Place is called Paradise Bay. You and your woman looking for places to get away from it all?"
"Yeah. She works for Cathay too, in Sydney."
"Just the one woman?"
"Yeah. That's me a one-woman man."
"You don't look the part. Pretty well put together. Airline life is built for the cruising stud. Lots and lots of poontang. Stewardesses must be all over you to get in your pants. Stewards too." He laughed at that little joke. The copilot didn't.
"And I suppose you have a woman in every airport."
"Don't need that shit. Like I said about horny stewardesses, I travel with my pussy. You seen the stewardesses back there, the one named Denise? Seen the rack on that one? And the Oriental one named Mai Lai. God, can she suck. And the Filipina's got a pussy that'll draw you right in."
Not having been able to redirect the conversation, and as they were approaching Hong Kong International Airport, which he understood was really a piece of cake to land at now, the approach to the former Kai Tak airport before China took over Hong Kong having been a hairy approach between mountain peaks with a fast drop, Peterson went silent. Tenley was humming to himself, but he was handling the landing expertly. He didn't ask Peterson to help with anything.
When they were on the tarmac and rolling to the terminal, Tenley reopened the conversation, "You got a layover here?"
"Yep," Peterson responded. "Two days, then a hop down to KL and picking up the KL-Sydney route again. Captaining that route."
"Where you staying here? At the Regal Airport Hotel, where most of us stay?"
