FLIGHT series

The FLIGHT series is a new adult contemporary franchise comprising of fifteen stories written by Filipino author 23meraki. All of the novels are categorized under romance, drama and aviation-related; and are all published in Wattpad.
Each of the stories follow different people and introduced into different aviation jobs, contrary to the usual stories which 23meraki suggested to be her way of breaking the stigma concerning the industry.

* According to 23meraki, what actually inspired her to start writing the series was her frustration upon trying to read a highly hyped Wattpad story (she later pointed out it to be 4reuminct's Safe Skies, Archer). "I actually gave it a chance, but reading the Prologue was a struggle. I jumped straight to the Epilogue to find something of interest in aviation, but no. It disappointed me so much. The very reason I wrote about an industry I was fully aware and had an idea of, because I don't want to disappoint anyone from this field. I felt, upon trying to read it, betrayed that the industry I belonged and loved was painted in a very wrong way and image," she said.
** She also said that she tried watching the accompanying limited series. "I actually skipped it, too, because I knew that it will only frustrate me as well," she remarked. "I was searching for the scenes about aviation because it was shoot in my school [Alpha Aviation Group] and a few I've known during training was there as extra. And, forgive me, but they could've hired a researcher about aviation because the series was equally bad. Worst, even. Aviation was heavily romanticized that the scenes about aviation weren't even real. Aviation became a backdrop; don't believe whatever about aviation was mentioned there, because it was all wrong."
** Her classmates during A320 training also became interested about it, commenting: "I showed screenshots to them. And we all shared the same sentiments concerning the illuminated master caution and the memo in the ECAM. The worst one we've noted was the climax of the story by the end, about some sort of an emergency, specifically the emergency descent scenario. It is true that the immediate action after oxygen mask on, for the Pilot Flying or Captain (since all emergencies had the captain having the controls), was to "turn-pull" the knobs for altitude and heading, and "pull" for speed, given that autopilot is working. However, we're to descent to 10,000 ft and not 100 ft, which was what was shown in the said scene. Continuity was also an issue that we've noted that afterwards, the ECAM memo was showing "Engine Fire" and neither of the pilots canceled the master warning, which was the first course of action as always. We could attest that our captains would definitely be cursing us already for going out of the sequence; as we were told since the beginning of the A320 training that the A320, normal or abnormal procedures, has a respective flow, and we should not do something outside that respective flow."
** Additionally, she mentioned that she personally told her A320 partner about the Wattpad story itself the night before their A320 CAAP Skill Test, and instead of reviewing, her partner decided to try reading the Epilogue. "I remember him reading it in between our break of reviewing; since there was really nothing to review for the skill test because we've already done the check ride profile the day before and polished it. Both of us couldn't understand what was going on and for the first time since our A320 training, we were quarreling about our interpretation of the story. Surprisingly, we fought about it than anything regarding the training. In the end, we've agreed that reading it was a waste of time as the situation called for a "go-around" and a "windshear", which the latter was a memory item. In short, it shouldn't even be contested between pilots, as whoever noticed it would immediately perform the actions. Unfortunately, the story only proves that research wasn't extensive, and the characters aren't at all safe pilots to be considered as such. Hence, we couldn't understand why the characters were then set to be the standard of pilot characters, when they were just "bonkers", as the exact wording used by my partner."
