Of course he wouldn’t be all that upset about leaving his family. He’ll go home and see them again. But he’ll never see that flight attendant again. This good bye is permanent, a friend forever lost.
The whole experience is wrapped up in Michael’s relationship with the flight attendant. He’ll miss all of it, but why not extend it as long as possible, until the “next big thing”? Sometimes it is hard to let go of emotion-laden activities.

Looks like Michael has a crush.

The airline stewardess will miss Michael, keeping Michael entertained and get paid of that.

Goodbyes ARE so much easier when they’re mixed with hellos.

So much wisdom for such a young boy

Young boys do notice women 10-15 years their senior, many get crushes. It is only natural.
