Tailspin.

How does one regain control of a life which has gone into a tailspin?
Years have passed since the cabin was occupied by someone competent.
Capable of yanking hard on the rudder stick and adjusting the flaps enough that I can be pulled out of this dive and fly on new wings of hope.
There will likely be much that needs repaired to keep the craft worthy of flight and probably many things to be jettisoned to lighten the load and aid the task.
Assuming that, together, we can land this then I pray that we can mend it;
Patch the holes that the birds left as they hit me as I careered on and down.
A touch up of the undercarriage to make sure the gear works.
The passengers I have carried will need to reapply for boarding passes.
You, however. You can have my hull and everything therein,
If you can only recover me from this spin..
