[Harry Callahan]

Just watched the program "Airline" today. What do you folks think of it ?
Also if you know how were the employees picked that are on it ?
Thanks

I think I've only seen one season 3 episode. I was getting tired of the "drunk of the week" focus in season 2. Seemed like there was more employee/behind-the-scenes emphasis in season 1 (love that Yolanda!), whereas in 2 the emphasis shifted more toward annoying/inebriated/loser travellers. I've also read internet rumors that some of these "passengers", especially at LAX, were actually 'ringers': Actors hired by the producers to act up.
I think the show has run it's course, and I hope there will not be a season 4 unless WN insists that it return to it's original slant of an inside look at airline operations rather than one snockered lowlife after another abusing the gate staff!

What I'd heard was that A&E didn't want a 4th season, but that the shows producrers were looking at shopping it to another network. That was some months ago, and in the absence of any other news, maybe they didn't find anyone...

I was at a luncheon where Colleen Barrett spoke. Someone in the audience asked her that question. She said that while it sometimes made her cringe, the response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive.

Watched it a while back. An episode about a beauty contest. No bad, I mean I watched it until the end. Learned a lot about the system SWA has in place to keep its' costs down, especially at boarding time. You must be right there when the ticket agent calls your name....or else, goodbye seat! They are on a very STRICK time schedule. I'd watch it again, but I have to go to bed kind of early in the week. This is the weekend, so I'm staying up kind of late. Yawn..........
