‘Fly Girls,’ Virgin America’s Reality Show

Virgin America is launching a reality show starring its flight attendants. Or rather, a select group or attractive women flight attendants. Said flight attendants will be filmed as they jaunt across the skies doing their flight attendant thing for the cameras. The show, Fly Girls, will be airing on the CW, so I'm expecting at least some manufactured drama, which should be easy to get seeing as how the five featured flight attendants will all be living together in a "crash pad" in Los Angeles. In Virgin's words: "From their shared home-base “crash pad” in Los Angeles, California, the young women will deal with work lives that include split-second decision-making, demanding and sometimes fascinating passengers, long hours in the air and layovers in interesting locales. Their personal lives are filled with romance, family, friendships and more than a few roommate conflicts."

The show is titled “Fly Girls” and will be debuting in early 2010. The CW is excited about the partnership. “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,” said Kristen Vadas, head of alternative programming for the CW. “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.” We’ll see how long it takes for someone to make a mile-high joke on camera.
