More About “Airline”

On Jim’s recommendation, I watched two repeat episodes of A&E’s documentary/reality show “Airline” Sunday afternoon. I think I’m hooked. Sure, it’s a bit of an infomercial for Southwest, the featured airline, but the storylines are engaging, often in a car crash sort of way. A new episode airs tonight, but anyone who needs an early fix can listen to a Savvy Traveler interview with series producer Chris Carey. For another point of view on the show, check out Virginia Heffernan’s pan in the New York Times.
