...Do any of you watch the show "Airline" (on A&E)? It's the show that shows the in and outs of Southwest's jobs. It's a great show.

I'm wondering because A&E canceled the show... I've started a petition against the canceling of the show, if you're interested, you could sign and pass it around.

Have a good day.

CF,

I watched the show and thought it was interesting.

Want more Flyertalkers to open your post next time? Then add additional information to the thread title.

Welcome to Flyertalk.

Thank-you for the helpful hint and warm welcome, dhammer. I'll make sure I remember that next time I create a thread.

Thanks.

There are also some other threads here in regards to both the European and US versions of the show.

The Europe one is "Airline UK" (For USA on-lookers, "AIRLINE" for local residents), another Europe one is "Airport". The American one is "Airline"-same in Canada and Mexico.

I know that there is a new show on entitled "Flight Attendant School" that talks about want-to-be flight attendants for Fronteir.

Nope - different versions are called "Airline" in different markets. For example in NZ, the UK version is called simply "Airline".

>A&E canceled the show...

I enjoyed the first season, but as a "plane geek" the kinds of things that would have interested me just didn't make for good television, and were never shown. I wanted to learn about airline operations - Routes, staff scheduling, how you turn a 737 around. I wanted to learn what SW does when they strip down a plane for service and put it back together again etc. I wanted them to follow a flight - From the craft arriving at the gate to its landing at another gate and push-back for a new flight. EVERYTHING that happens, from passenger loading to catering, to filing a flight plan to comms with traffic control etc. - Then what happens in the air with ATC routing etc.

They never showed much of any of that - Just drunks and white trash, so I gave up on the show.

ya, a little bit of that goes a long way. I must admit watching my fair share of episodes, but I'm not heartbroken that it's been cancelled. I never could understand why WN allowed themselves to be filmed in that manner. It really did not present them in a very flattering light.

the first few episodes was good, after that you knew that the show was gonna be about a bunch of drunks being denied boarding.

i enjoyed airport much more. especially the immagration part.

I never cared for "Airline" much. Too many drunks and white trash! But from what I've seen, "Flight Attendant School" shows more promise! At least they get into some of the other side of flying. ^
