imageThose are the words of Frontier Airlines flight attendant Natalie Ordakowski, one of many sources to tell the New York Times what anyone who has flown a Frontier or JetBlue flight during a big game already knows: Satellite TV has turned some airplanes into sports bars, complete with cheering fans—or, depending on your perspective, drunken yahoos. ESPN, the Times reports, is Frontier’s most watched channel “by far” and it’s one of JetBlue’s three most watched channels. This week, Setanta Sports announced it will join its JetBlue’s satellite TV lineup, so fans will be able to fly, drink and watch international rugby and soccer matches.
