If they want to describe the life of a dedicated professional pilot perhaps they should examine the lifes of the poor dupes who've spent £100,000 to buy a licence, pay the airline £30,000 to buy a job and then work for free for several months, eventually to get into the scam of working an un-guaranteed amount of hours per month but only when they are needed (ie fill-in summer only) with no holidays, no sick pay, no nothing, and are paid about the same as a jobbing house painter or carpenter. This sort of swindle was made illegal in the Mills in the mid 1800s, and has only just re-surfaced like a nasty plague in the last year ot two. Mr Producer...

Race pilots! Sh!t loads of them about, aren't there?

Ps. Note to the producer. I think you'll find race pilots tend to be wealthy amateurs...as do aerobatic pilots.

Not again...

How many original Reality TV spectaculars can we endure?

Why do they always pick on Freight Dogs for the answer?

Why not do a documentary on MK at least thats interesting & who knows where that might lead?

now try Intavia for some really good stories or Air Charter Services from Mirabel in the 80,s.Or Trans Afric. during the Angola civil war,
The list is endless

Old Cessna, my thoughts exactly.

If I were suspicious, that would be a plug for the website listed under "Ron's" name.
