new show: Airline

OMG has anyone else been watching this show? I am dying. Seriously, it is the most hilarious reality tv show I've ever seen.

Its a spin off of the really popular british show Airport. This one is based out of Chicago and LAX, following the drama and shit that goes down at the Southwest counters. Bottom line is we get to watch people have hilarious hissy fits and act obnoxious! There was this one woman on who was trying to get home to San Diego and she was spazzing out so bad, my roomie and I couldn't stop laughing. You could tell that her two sons were totally humiliated too.

Has anyone else caught this show? Its on A&E.

Yes, I watch it every Monday. That lady was so FUNNY!! She acted like it was Southwest's fault that she arrived 20 minutes before the plan was supposed to leave. What about the episode where they won't let the stinky man on the plan? Disgusting!!

Yeah, that lady is a freaking weirdo, Her sons appeared to be very embarrassed. I think she was hammered, what a great show. I love A&E now. I mean, biography was always good, but there are some pretty tight shows on there now.

OMG...this show rocks! And if I have to work on Mondays, I have it taped so I can watch it when I come home!

I saw the one episode when the Northeast experienced blackouts. The staff had to deal with irate passengers who missed connecting flights and other obligations. The staff tried to help by offering to pay for accomodations and rescheduling flights. It looks like an interesting show.

Did anyone catch it last night with the crazy lady who was flirting with the old man, and changing right in the middle of the terminal? That show is hilarious. I always watch it now after House of Dreams. Which was pretty crazy also last night with the hook up betwen flor and the married man... whoa.

I saw it last night too. I felt sorry for the guy that they wouldn't let on the plane because he had bad body odor. They gave him new clothes, deoderant, and $15 to buy something to eat. It didn't look like he was mad, but deep down I think he was embarrased. Poor guy.......

Great series... more reason to fly Southwest!

I've seen the show once and have been trying to catch it more, but I always seem to be doing something different.

I really hope that people who watch the show realize how hard much crap these people who work for the airlines actually have to deal with. My mom worked for the airlines for 20 years and there have been many stories that I have heard.

I caught this show last night/early this morning. It was hilarious! I saw two episodes, the one with the woman who was getting all dolled up to impress her mom, and the second was the one with the man with the body odor. I like this show. All I need is another reality show to become addicted to. Ahh!

I know. I thought he was homeless but then, how did he get a plane ticket? Maybe from a family member. The woman was so funny. She was all "I'd be so embarassed if someone told me I smelled bad. I mean, I have a hard enough time when people tell me my outfit doesn't match." I love this show.

I felt really bad for him, maybe he was just a hippie? I like hippies. Oh well, I cannot wait to see what the heck happens next week. Speaking of homeless, what about old Tony on House of Dreams...??? I thought he was going to get the red hat this time... Why do they always go to commercial break as Tony id having a hard time opening the door? It makes me so nervous. I am at the edge of my seat. This is so wierd, b/c I never have enjoyed reality TV before these shows...

Okay, so they are airing an episode right now. There is a drunk guy traveling with his wife and grandson. The airline decided that the drunk wasn't fit to fly, but the wife decided she and the grandson would go ahead without the husband. The drunk turns to his wife and says, "What?! C'mon!! I don't even know where you live!! Awww mannnnn." WTF?!?!
