How much would it actually cost to commission a 30 minute TV programme? Would it not be beneficial to all sides to have a TV "insider" show highlighting the view of avaition from OUR side?
Answering such questions as "Why can't I board after the gate has close", "What really happens if the engine stops in a Cessna 150" and "What is wrong with stubbing out a cigarette in the waste paper bin"?

I've watched the "Airport" series in the UK where Easyjet check-in staff tell pax that they are too late to board and the pax start ranting yet the show never BOTHERED to explain why the late pax cannot get on (Loading of bags, C of G calcs, Mandatory safety brief, steps/loaders have gone etc etc)

I would have thought this sort of informative programming would knock spots off of a vague and speculative documentary. (No offence, but 30 mins won't do it for the Helios story)

I might be prepared to put my money where my mouth is since I can imagine this idea making a profit, especially if we all pushed it!
