In the Golden Years of aviation it was handsome pilots and pretty stewardesses, dressed in their smart uniforms that were the posters to attract the travelling public.

Withthe state of the airline industry being portrayed by the 2010 TV mocumentary series Come Fly with me, with a boss such as Omar Baba of Fly Lo.
Can any of you identify yourselves with the characters in this mocumentary, is it anywhere near the mark so far as the true situation is concerned. All good comedy is based on reality, viewed from another perspective.
But who is really to blame for all this. I think it is better to believe in reincarnation and when it is your time to choose, come back as a bird, but make sure it is not a penguin again.
