Love is in the air for Virgin America cabin crew
A NEW reality show based on the lives of flight attendants has been cleared for take-off on US television.
The show, called Fly Girls, will follow the lives of five “beautiful Virgin America flight attendants jet from one glamorous location to the next … while pursuing good times, great parties, adventures and love” in eight 30 minute episodes.
Kristen Vadas, who oversees reality programming at CW, the television station that is broadcasting the show, says the programme reflects the real lives of the flight attendants.
Handsome Strangers
“This show is about real, down-to-earth young women who happen to have landed in an exceptionally glamorous, high-flying career filled with exotic locations and handsome strangers,” she said.
She said their personal lives are filled with “romance, family, friendships and more than a few roommate conflicts”.
The programme features flight attendants:
* Louise Nguyen
* Farrah Williams, who has flown with Virgin America as a flight attendant since its inaugural flight.
* Tasha Dunnigan
* Mandalay Roberts, who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show promoting WiFi services available to customers of Virgin America.
* Nikole Rubyn
The program will also deal with their work lives including demanding and fascinating passengers, long hours in the air and layovers.
Exotic Locations
“We’re thrilled to be working with Virgin America for this unique peek into a whirlwind lifestyle that shows how tough it is to be grounded when you work 35,000 feet in the air,” Porter Gale, Vice President of Marketing at Virgin America, said.
The show will be filmed at various US locations including Las Vegas, South Beach, Las Angeles and New York City.
Fly Girls is due to premiere early next year.
