Sometimes, in bars and other places I run into pilots who like to talk to me. They talk, and suddenly I find myself the recipient of their life story and personal secrets.
I have wondered why they do that.
I have asked a few pilots who have convoed me out of the blue, and they claimed they picked me because I just have a kind face.
I personally find it hard to believe I'm somehow uniquely easy to talk to, so I've started to jokingly call the phenomenon "The Lonely Pilot Syndrome".
Some of them have been good and entertaining company, so inability to make any friends does not really sound like a plausible explanation. Maybe they are so desperate for the company and understanding of other pilots?
The unsettling question is, will I ever become that lonely?
