His nerve almost failed him, but his thoughts on what he was looking for in a pilot had undergone a paradigm shift. She had, literally, knocked him for a loop.
“Paris, you’re hired.”

“Paris, you’re hired.”
It’s always exciting when we are hired (especially if preceded by a bunch of “your not quite what we’re looking for” responses.
That’s what I thought too ๐
Success! A great feeling.
Indeed! ๐
Hooray for Paris ๐
Hear, hear! ๐ three cheers!
I like how you used the last line. good one.
Thanks, Lance ๐
I wonder in what way they shifted!
He was looking for a male candidate as that’s the norm in his company…. Paris is decidedly not male.
looking for a male – hiring a female – yup paraigm shift indeed. ๐
Haha you got it ๐
One would think a certain degree of conventionality would be essential. Maybe it depends on what you’re flying.
Oh yes. I forgot to mention it’s a spacecraft….
Really enjoyed reading this and the way you presented this paradigm change. I love the title too.
Awww thank you ๐
heh, a literal loop (: I bet that was fun. I wonder if his pants are still dry! I would be freaking out.
Oh he’s been in a few loops… But this one was unexpected. I think I’m going to have to write the whole thing!
Splendidly fun and must be a heck of a story behind it
There is… It will find its way onto my blog when it’s properly formulated ๐
It’s funny how going for a little loop in a metal machine high up in the air can change one’s mind!
Thanks for linking up!
Yes, odd that! Lol ๐
Wow! Nice piece of writing.
Thanks Viv ๐
Like how knocking him for a loop keeps it ambiguous.
Fun story.
Nice one here-hurrah for Paris on “landing” smoothly:-)
