单选题请根据下面短文回答下列问题:
I'm flying back to Paris. Sitting quietly in the waiting room, I find a man and a woman behind me. Both seem to be in their 60s. The man is in a uniform (制服). I can't tell whether he's a pilot or not. He goes away after a while and the woman stays seated, looking straight ahead.
I want to get a better seat so I go to the gate (登机口) where the flight attendants (乘务员) are just arriving. One of them is talking to the man at the gate. "See that old man, Tom?" she says, "It's his last flight! He's leaving his job after this flight, taking his wife to Paris for the important moment !"
Right away I know who they're talking about, and after getting a nice seat, I come back.
The pilot comes back with drinks. He gives his wife a small glass before sitting down next to her. They drink slowly and then walk up to the gate. I see them taking a picture in front of the words "5:45 PM Flight 914 Paris".
Soon he's gone into the plane and begins his last trip in the pilot's seat.
