Ready for Boarding (if You Are Sober, Slim and Smell Nice)

Things have gotten pretty bad when you are told you have to freshen up before you can board an airplane. You must change your clothes. There have been complaints. And here's some deodorant.

This is the brutal experience of Michael, a would-be Southwest Airlines passenger on A&E's documentary series "Airline," which starts tonight.Downbeat and defeated, Michael takes it in stride; he appears to have survived a lifetime of affronts. Setting out for the men's room, he accepts the sincere explanation of Susie, the customer service supervisor: "I don't want any customers inconvenienced with, as far as, the whole smell issue."

Would you want him to sit next to you?

By the way, what time is this show on A&E? I've seen previews for it, and it really looks something that would interest me.

C'mon NWgoldelite. Don't be looking for an angle.

Just take a shower before you board . . . please.

P.S: Have you checked out the disposable underwear at www.outsidethebox.com?

Just set your Tivo to record it, like I did. :) A&E appears to be running various episodes throughout the week and at varying times (but usually 2 in a row, since it is 30 minutes each episode). It sounds like it might be a pretty interesting show for the travel enthusiast.
