Virgin America’s “Fly Girls”

It's a TV show! That's all it is. Why is everybody putting so much time and effort into bashing these girls. The girls are very attractive, interesting and do a great job. The Airline is a great Airline overall and it makes the flight that much more enjoyable. Virgin America, Keep up the good work, add more cities, and keep hiring more Fly Girls, we need more in flight crews with life in them..........

Look, I don't know what the big deal is. They have reality shows about everything. I am a straight male flight attendant, and you know what....it's a fun job. Yes, I have had medical emergencies, crappy pax, etc., but the job is fun. The overnights....are even better. I have seen more craziness than I will admit too. And yes, the stories are true. Put a bunch of younger crews together on overnights and there's gonna be trouble. Virgin has younger, hipper crews. The Legacy airlines, are getting old. They hire older military pilots, and older flight attendants. So yes, depending on the crew....some are planning on saving your ass, others will save you if they have too, but they took the job because its a good paying job that is fun!

Just what we need................ANOTHER reality show!!! Being a flight attendant myself, I would like to see how this show does. Let's hope these chicks don't make a fool of themselves=D

mehwhatEVA - First off, this is TV... Of course the producers need to make it interesting enough to watch. We've seen Airline with Southwest and do we really need to just see a bunch of unhappy guests and disgruntled ground employees. Go ahead and fly the legacies who'll treat you like crap who went through a similar 30 day training period about 40-50 years ago. At least these girls still have the training fresh in their mind no more than 2 years ago. Besides, do you really think that a 65 year old legacy flight attendant is gonna save your ass? Think about it! I have a question for you.... Did you audition for the show and not get it???? Anyway, if it's from the producer of the Hills or one of those shows, then we already know it's not going to be completely real, but the girls are. I guess the real viewing public will the judge.

This show sets the profession back about 40 years. While it's nice to have young attractive women in the aisles, the reality is this: The cockpit doors must now stay closed at all times, no matter what. If there is any real danger during a flight the flight attendants are now the first line of defense, as well as all other service and safety aspects that have always existed. It is now more important than ever for the traveling public to understand the actual role that the cabin crews are trained for. This "reality" show will offer the public a very maligned view of an already too misunderstood profession. I for one consider this to be an embarrassment for all the hard working flight attendants around the world.
