"Airline" -- TV show on A&E
Anyone see this? The American version follows Southwest Airline employees and documents their dealings with crazy passengers.... there is also a British version that follows EasyJet employees.
The American one had me ROTFL.....

In one of the previous British airline shows there was a great character working for a Russian airline (Possibly Aeroflot) out of Heathrow. He was a slightly overweight camp man in his 30's that spoke fluent Russian. He was brilliant to watch.

Andrew I though so. He was actually brilliant with the customers and made a name for himself. I remember one where the people's baggage was checked but they were drinking in the bar and he was great handling it. It's bad enough getting the Irish out of the bar I think the Russians are even harder

My personal favorites: a woman who checked her life saving meds in her baggage and missed the plane; a woman who demanded that her mother-in-law be allowed to board with an oxygen tank because "we checked her out of the hospital against doctor's wishes so she could go to Las Vegas", and people who spend far too much time in the concourse bars, miss the boarding call and then get furious because the plane has left!

Wow, how strange that this post should come up. I just saw this show for the first time this past weekend. It was the British version about Easyjet employees out of Luton airport. There was one story about an EJ pilot with a plane load of travellers who had to divert to another french airport (forget which one ) due to bad weather. Once the crisis passed, he didn't have enough fuel to continue on, nor the means to pay for any. He almost had to charge it to his personal Credit Card !! I had no idea things like this happened. Another story was about an old, infirm lady with a cane who was so confused that had no idea where she was flying to once at the airport. Italy? Spain? France? they asked. It turned out to be Lourdes. It's a great series; very informative and interesting.

dcespedes,
You're little late, the <b>Airport</b> series ran for couple of years, couple of years ago. I forgot what channel, but it may have been A&E. That's what <i>SjobhanP</i> was asking about when talking about the gentleman that worked for <i>Aeroflot</i> on the <b>Airport</b> show. There was also a great young lady working for the <i>Cyprus Airlines</i>. I believe that show still gets airing somewhere on Sunday nights.
