Ryan's family has moved on without him. The upstart kid that he mentored now has a permanent job in San Francisco. The one woman he thought he could connect with on a romantic level turned out to be married with kids. His primary life goal has been reached and he's stuck in the exact same job that he's been doing for years while everyone else is moving on. His entire life's accomplishment is essentially a plastic AAdvantage card. In a way, the movie can be compared to ''TheWrestler''.

[[WMG: Ryan will confront [[spoiler: Alex's husband]] about their affair.]]
He would not have gotten over it, and even though he knows [[spoiler:her husband]] could kick his ass, he'd take his chances.

[[WMG: Ryan is following Natalie's advice.]]

More optimistically Ryan is following Natalie's advice for what she'd do if she had ten million miles: he looks at the billboard, picks a destination and flies there.
*That seemed pretty clear to, you know, anyone.
**...except the people who actually wrote up the trope perhaps?
