Saw it for the first time a couple of days ago.
When I first heard about the show I thought, "Wow, free advertising for Southwest". After seeing the show I thought, "Why would Southwest want this type of exposure?".
The episode I saw included passengers getting bumped who were trying to get to Florida, a passenger wearing a tiger suit who seemed to be just a bit crazy, two overweight people who were told they might have to buy an extra seat, a drunk passenger who was trying to get to a funeral, and a passenger who was wearing a mini mini skirt and had no undergarments...problem was, it was a man!
After seeing this episode I wondered how anyone would be enticed to fly on WN (when the price is matched by another airline). Personally I wouldn't have wanted to sit next to any of these people.
I remember seeing an episode of MAD TV where, in one skit, a passenger stated, "Thank God for Southwest Airlines, the ghetto bus of the sky". The episode of "Airline" I saw did nothing to dispel that perception.
Also, thought the show was pretty boring (like most "reality" TV), but I guess I was in a mind-numbing sort of state while on my layover.
