Airline A Show on A & E
Has anyone seen this show? Intresting that the cameras are always there when somebody gets pulled off the plan drunk. It's a pretty cool show. What do you guys think?

Believe it's the reruns of the third season .....
with previous seasons thrown in. HOU was added for the third season. IIRC it was LAX and BWI in the first season. Or was it MDW 
Now let's see how long before this thread is moved

Either way, the show became very bland after awhile. The same drunkards with different stories getting denied boarding. Then, the water works. Then, the police escort off the terminal. Not to mention the idea that Southwest is a horrible airline to fly if any flight interruptions arise.

Here's a list of characters y mucho mas
The last episode (probably a rerun but new to me) I saw last night spent a great deal of time at the Houston Rodeo with one of the riders who flew there on WN

I love to watch the emotional roller coaster ride all the drunks seem to take:
1. Polite as they're pulled aside.
2. Denial.
3. Begging & pleading.
4. Waterworks - lots of tears flowing!
5. Snap change to arguementative.
6. Screaming.
7. Cursing.
8. Violence/throwing things.
9. Police arrive.
10. Try different assorted emotions with police.
11. Escorted away by police.
12. Cigarette break.
I swear, it's pretty much like this every time!!

A couple of the supervisors are quite hot!
I noticed that, no matter what, they won't offer more than $200 for an IDB. Also, they can't protect on another airline can they? These are two major customer service flaws that most people don't factor in until they get bitten by it.

I used to watch Airline, but after a while its style just seemed flippant and annoying. I enjoyed the show Airport (both LHR and MIA) because it provided a far deeper sense of what goes on at airports beyond the humilation of drunken passengers that Airline focuses on.
