Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

In that case I imagine you start absolutely hating that place after a while. Considering the boarding and deboarding process is probably the most stressful part of that job outside of emergencies, not to mention they only start getting paid when the door closes (which is total bullshit that they can get away with that, apparently the airlines think they're not actually doing their jobs when they're busy wrangling 200+ passengers through the gate?)
