TLC just picked up 13 episodes of a show following Southwest Airlines. I think if any airline deserves a reality show, it’s Southwest, although this isn’t their first shot at having a reality show. They used to be the featured subject of A&E’s Airline in 2004 and 2005, but this time they promise they’re going to give a real inside look.

They’re most definitely the most outrageous of all the airlines and certainly attract the most drama. Between Kevin Smith and his “too fat to fly” scandal to Leisha Hailey making out with her girlfriend to yanking Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong off a flight for having his pants to low, the drama never ends. Question is will the passengers allow the airline to film while they’re flying? And will they really deliver what they promise? Thankfully it’s about the airline and not just the flight attendants…we all know how well CW’s Fly Girls did…

    I loved Airline. To watch drunks try to act like they aren’t drunk to board a plane is fantastic. It is also a how to guide on what NOT to do when trying to board a plane after 5 hours of boozing b/c you had a 5 hour delay. What do they expect you to do during that time you waiting in the airport anyway?

    Although the drunks were entertaining in a thank-goodness-I-don’t-have-to-deal-with-that-daily-as-part-of-my-job way, the REAL standouts were the human flotsam and jetsam that were there because someone bought them a ticket, and they had no other money on them, needed a bath, needed clothes that didn’t smell, needed deodorant, needed mouthwash, etc. These are the folks that normally would be put on a bus out of town by someone, but because the flights can be so cheap, they ended up at an airport, totally out of their milieu. There is something to be said about higher ticket prices being a screening device.
    I long for the day when people actually DRESSED WELL to take a flight and didn’t look like they’d just rolled out of bed or off a park bench when they got there . . . especially when we have to sit trapped within 2 inches of them.
