While her husband is away flying, Hailey Frances finds peace of mind in one simple routine he keeps.
Earlier this year, the content creator shared a glimpse of her relationship on TikTok with her husband, Jason. In the clip, Hailey asked him to recall the “one rule” she always asks him to follow while traveling.
“The only thing I care about when you’re gone for a couple of days,” she explained, smiling and describing herself as a “very low-maintenance pilot wife.”
Jason hesitated at first, joking that he had a lot of possible answers — though not all of them were appropriate. Still, he eventually guessed that Hailey mainly cared about one thing: his safety.
“If I fly a red eye, you like me to text you, even though you’re asleep,” he said. Hailey confirmed he was right. Even though the message comes in while her phone is on “sleep mode,” she said she loves waking up to it in the morning.
The couple remembered a time when Jason forgot to text, which left Hailey worried until she finally heard from him. “I just like to see that you ended up safe and sound wherever you needed to be,” she explained.
In the video’s caption, Hailey encouraged other pilot spouses to share their own relationship “rules.” Some offered simple guidelines, such as “Aviate, navigate, communicate, in that order.” Others had stricter requests, like no drinking while away or turning on “read receipts and tracking” so they could check in during flights.
