Standout Aspects

Costume

Uniforms so tight they probably required emergency exits.

Acting

Connie Sellecca's pre-'Hotel' charm saves entire scenes.

Best for:Solo: Irony poisoning required. Watch while folding laundry.·Friends: Mystery Science Theater-style roast with your snarkiest pals.
Heads up:Triggers: Relentless casual sexism, treated as aspirational lifestyle.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This pilot bombed so hard the series lasted five episodes. Connie Sellecca jumped to 'The Greatest American Hero' instead.

Cultural

Released months before airline deregulation, this captures the last gasp of glamorous, exclusive air travel before budget carriers ruined everything.
