Is this your rewrite?

I like this one. Your stories always offer insights into a life that isn't really talked about, a great skill. I like your scenes, but want to push you to turn them more into stories. I don't think they have to be formulaic, with a beginning, middle, and end, but some kind of structure.

I'm mostly thinking about something happening. I know nothing happens on the flights and that's the point, but something is always happening. Was there a time when you weren't thankful for your bubble? When someone didn't forget their rank? Where something changed and could never go back?

I'm just thinking through text here, but I'm thinking that kind of momentum could help.
