Abstract
We obtain an asymptotic expansion for the tails of the random variable where is the Airy process. Using the formula of Schehr \cite{Sch} that connects the density function of to the Hastings-McLeod solution of the second Painlev\'e equation, we prove that as , , where , and the constant is given explicitly.
