Hello Flight Crew, and Welcome aboard our 10th Episode, Schitt's Creek. 

 

We would like to invite all of our Cattle-Class customers to laugh at the failing fortunes of our first class, and to revel in their rotation on Fortune's Wheel. This Riches to Rags story can be found in your in-flight Magazine, alongside simillar articles such as:

Door Carpentry and You

Stavros: Why you shouldn't fall in love with Jerky Sounding Names

Are your Wigs Packed Properly?

and our feature article

Touring the Great Can- Oh..I mean...American Landscape

Please note that you might hear some sad violins playing. This was not approved by Fearless Flyer and she would like to make her objections known.

Hello Frequent Flyers, and Welcome Aboard our Ninth Flight, Gossip Girl.

We invite all of our preferred guests to the front of the line, so we may voyueristically enjoy their fancy New York lives. We ask that the rest of cattle class wait in their filth until called. 

This flight will feature in-flight entertainment, such as gossip, girls, problems that aren't really problems because you're rich and white, and a weird Marxist slant from the Dutchman. 

We hope that everyone enjoys their flight, but some people more than others. 

 Please note a TW: for a brief discussion of Sexual Assault has been applied as it happens in this episode. Twice.

(Also, Gravity is a Jerk for picking this show.)

Hello folks and welcome aboard our eight pilot episode, The Newsroom. While we reach crusing altitude your inflight entertainment may only show the news. Lucky for you, Will McAvoy will be there, to give it to you straight! Like no other news ever does ever. 
We would like to advise all our guests flying with us that we are a non-smoking flight, so for the love of journalism, put that cigarette out and stop pretending it's the 1950's and you're Don Draper. 

 

Our Top Story: Why isn't 'Jim and Mac back in Iraq' a show?
The Weather: Cloudy with a chance of BP
Human Interest Story: Are Women Humans?
The Fluff: Fun Facts about Venus at the end of the Episode!

All that and more, aboard The Newsroom.

Hello Folks and Welcome aboard our most turbulent flight yet, Rick and Morty. This time travelling scientist and grandson sidekick can be seen from the left side of our aircraft. Please make note of the two exits on either side of the deck, and the safety device below your seat.

Additionally, you may feel tempted to call all aliens beaurecrats, but if you watched our safety feature you will find they are in fact real live not-robots.

Folks strap in, sit down, and please ignore that argumentative man sitting next to you who desperately wants to read you your horroscopes.

On Today's Transatlantic flight, you will be served with your choice of Murder, Mystery, and Flapper Pie. With Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, we hope that you all enjoy your complimentary sass. We advise all passengers that the Jazz is Hot, Phryne is cool, and you may have an steamy bathouse time.

With a side of explosions, electrified wires that can only be the work of Satan, and adorable maids named Dot, we're sure this flight will be a great way to kill time.

After which, of course, you'll be arrested for the murder of the timespace continuum. You monster.

Ladies and Gentlemen and all Inbetween, we ask that you power down your Mobile devices while we take a look at the pilot, Selfie. Starring the Sci-Fi familliars, Karen Gillian and John Cho, and a forgettable supporting cast. In this episode we take a deeper look at what it means to be #butt.

There will be diagrams in the seat pocket in front of you. Please, please, stop taking pictures of them. We need you to read those.

This week dear listeners we test 'Please Like Me', Australian Stand-Up Comedian Josh Thomas' semi-autobiographical dramedy. 

Please stow all your fears of assuming responsibilities beneath the chair in front of you, and in the overheard compartment, and make sure your concerns about your family's mortality are silenced until we reach cruising altitude.

Welcome aboard this week's flight, From Dusk Till Dawn. Vertigo's pick, this episode looks at the Tarantino inspired pilot episode, and asks, 'if a man starts counting down how many days he has left alive, will he live till the end of the episode.'

 

 

We ask that you help yourself before you help others. Honestly. Save yourselves.

Mar 9, 2015

Ladies and Gentlemen and all in between, we would like to welcome you aboard this, your inaugural flight, the 100.

Your pilot for this flight is still quite new, only in their second season, and like all pilots at Flight School, their inexperience may show.

Please identify all the emergency exits, and buckle up, baby. It might get a bit rough.
